The Department of Laboratory Medicine consists of 9 divisions and is active in many areas of Laboratory Medicine. The department is involved in advanced basic scientific, clinical and epidemiological research. The department is one of the largest departments of education at Karolinska Institutet.



Division and duties
A position for an assistant professor is available in the laboratory of Dr.

Jaakko Patrakka at Karolinska Institute (KI) / AstraZeneca (AZ) Integrated Cardio Metabolic Centre (ICMC), Stockholm, Sweden. ICMC represents a unique opportunity for academic researchers to collaborate with scientists from the pharmaceutical industry to make cutting edge science and discover the next generation of medicines. More information about ICMC can be found at http://ki.se/en/medh/integrated-cardio-metabolic-centre-icmc.

The focus of the project is to explore molecular mechanisms behind glomerular diseases, with special emphasis on diabetic nephropathy. The ultimate goal is, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, to identify novel therapeutical targets and to develop new pharmaceutical compounds to treat kidney disease. We perform high throughput molecular profiling of human kidney biopsies and use primarily mouse and cell culture as experimental models.

Experience with phenotyping kidney mouse models is also a necessity. Moreover, the candidate should be familiar with induction of different glomerular disease models in mouse. Candidates should have a proven publication record in the field. The selected candidate will work as part of a team, in close collaboration with postdocs and graduate students.

Applicants must possess a PhD Degree and have several years of postdoc experience in an experimental kidney research lab. Initial contract will be for 24 months with an option for a prolongation.
