hela Sverige The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 38 000 students and 6 000 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.
The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell - what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.
The Institute is composed of the following five departments:
•
The Department of Infectious Diseases
•
The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
•
The Department of Pathology and Genetics
•
The Department of Clinical Chemistry and Transfusion Medicine
•
The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
At present, the institute has about 360 employees and approximately 400 million SEK in total assets.
The institution now seeks a postdoc fellow with focus on bioinformatics and pathogenic genetics.
Subject area
Bioinformatics and medical microbiology
Subject area description
The research group has recently found that the vast majority of viruses have highly optimized genomes. This optimization is very species-specific and is called genomic signatures. The aim of the group is to take advantage of these genomic signatures to develop new methods for the optimization of viral vectors, and attenuation of viruses. Another aim is to develop a platform for non-homologue classification of pathogens. The research group has close collaboration with pre-clinical and clinical researchers at Sahlgrenska Hospital, and with computer scientists at Chalmers University of Technology.
Job assignments
The applicant will analyze and map genomic signatures in various pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The project also includes development of computational algorithms for analysis and modification of genomic signatures.
Eligibility
An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at Göteborg University. The doctoral thesis shall be in a relevant area according to the specific position stated here. Since a position as postdoctor aims to give new holders of the doctorate the opportunity mainly to strengthen and develop their scholarly proficiency, we aim for those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years counting from last date of application.
The qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
Assessment
The applicant should have a strong background in bioinformatics and microbiology. PhD in related area is compulsory. Degree in computer science is a merit. Other merits are expertise in viral and bacterial genomics, genomic signatures, vectors, and algorithmic development.
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
Employment
The employment is temorary, two years, full time with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine.
