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 350 employees and approximately 290 million SEK in total assets.


A 4-months part-time position (15%) is available within the research group led by 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 studying novel immunization strategies and the mode of action of vaccines and adjuvants. 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 researcher is expected to analyse data concerning the evaluation of the affinity and characterizing the neutralizing epitopes targeting ability of vaccine-induced antibody response using surface plasmon resonance technology, as well as to complete analyses within an ongoing project that aims to evaluate vaccine-induced responses at the transcriptomics level.

A PhD in immunology or medical and clinical sciences or other relevant areas with proven track record in vaccine research is required. We are looking for someone with hands-on experience and knowledge on surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based evaluation of antibody response, including competitive surface plasmon resonance techniques, and specific experience using a Reichert SPR machine is required. Experience of management and data analysis of -omics projects as well as previous experience of research in vaccine development or evaluation is a merit. 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.
