hela Sverige The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 37 000 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. A 24 months full time position is available immediately within the research group led by docent Ali Harandi, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute for Biomedicine, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The focus of the research group is on vaccine evaluation, particularly on the mode of action of vaccines. The group has extensive collaboration with other universities, institutions and pharma internationally.
Postdoctoral fellow in vaccine response evaluation
The development of novel vaccines may be facilitated by a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of action of vaccines or their individual components as they pertain to their interaction with the immune system. The research group is currently involved in several European Commission-funded collaborative projects with the main objective to improve our understanding of vaccine mechanisms of action. The research is done by employing conventional immunological methods with cutting-edge omics technologies. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct studies and coordinate activities with other partners within one or more of the ongoing EU supported vaccine projects. In particular, the postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for conducting research on evaluation of the affinity and characterizing the neutralizing epitopes targeting ability of antibodies induced by vaccine candidates using surface plasmon resonance technology. The candidate will be also involved in analyzing omics data with the objective of discovery of biomarkers of vaccine induced responses.
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: A PhD in immunology or other relevant areas with track record and experience in evaluation of B cell/antibody response is required. Hands on experience and/or knowledge on studying antibody affinity/avidity antibody (including surface plasmon resonance technique) or strong desire to learn is required. Previous experience of research in vaccine development or evaluation and analysis of omics data is a plus. The successful candidate will have excellent communicative skills particularly regarding scientific communication in English, a high degree of autonomy, a developed way of critical thinking, and documented ability to work successfully in a group. Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
