The Petter Brodin's research group located at Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm is a part of the Unit of Clinical Pediatrics, Karolinska Institutet.
The group develops and applies experimental and computational research methods for systems-level analyses of human immune systems. The aim of the team is to understand immune systems' variation in health and disease and the regulatory mechanisms underlying such variation and adaptation to environmental influences. Another important focus is the development of immune systems in early Life.
Your mission
The responsibilities of this candidate in the lab will mainly involve sample reception, processing and recording the sample/subject metadata in the database, buffer exchange procedures, conjugation of antibodies to metal isotopes that are used as probes in mass cytometry, continuous testing and development of new metal probes, antibody test-titration experiments by CyTOF and flow cytometry, high-throughput acquisition of samples by CyTOF, following the routines established in the CyTOF facility for the maintenance of CyTOF machines and performing any other immunology research lab-related tasks.
Your profile
The successful candidate should have experience in a lab with sample handling, reagent preparation, experimentation and experience of method development with iterative testing and careful documentation. The successful candidate must be thriving in interdisciplinary environments, able and comfortable to work independently and should be dedicated to performing the tasks assigned in the lab free of errors. The candidate must be able to work together with other members of the team and contribute to the team's concerted efforts. The candidate must have good communicative skills with English as the main language. As the role demands someone with good experience in reagent preparation, buffers and testing probes based on metal isotopes, a chemical background will be a benefit. Essential is a strong experience in working with blood sample processing, density gradient separation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, plasma samples, RNA/DNA in paxGene or similar stabilizer tubes, all with necessary rigor and attention to detail to avoid sample mixup and errors.
A selection will be made among qualified applicants on the basis of the following criteria:
- Some documented experience in some of the aforementioned task areas.
- Prior experience and knowledge in biology and chemistry.
- Good exposure and knowledge on Mass spectroscopic technology.
- Expressed interest in the Project.
The qualifications of the applicants will be evaluated on an overall basis.
