hela Sverige Post-doc/Researcher position: Characterizing lipoprotein particle structures and lipoprotein particle interactions with blood vessel wall models
The focus of the project will be the characterization of lipoprotein particle structures and lipid cargo exchange dynamics in solution using mainly scattering/reflection techniques. Moreover, studies of interactions with model blood vessel walls and the effect on lipoprotein particles will be undertaken. This is a highly interdisciplinary project that span over various disciplines and academic/research institutes in Sweden and abroad. We have set up already methods to study proteins from the blood and we want to move on to study artificial particles of controlled composition.
The main tasks of the post-doc will be the following:
1. Expression of recombinant apolipoproteins
2. Reconstituting model lipoprotein particles with a given cargo, and characterizing structure in the bulk 3. Investigations of interactions and dynamics with model blood vessel components at surfaces.
Apart from carrying out research within these areas the applicant is expected to take responsibility for the maintenance of the instruments involved and to be active by supervising postgraduate students and fellow scientists in the techniques and participate in teaching at post graduate and graduate levels. A PhD student is currently involved in the project. Teaching at the undergraduate level may also to some extent be required. In addition, the applicant will be expected to take part in applications for external funding to support research activities.
Required Qualifications and Criteria for Assessment of Applicants
Candidates must have demonstrated scientific competence corresponding to a doctoral degree. The ideal candidate has a cross-disciplinary background with general competence in physical chemistry and molecular biology. Experience of having worked with proteins and lipids as well as previous hands-on experience in scattering based techniques at large scale facilities will be strong merits (focus on small angle scattering and reflection).
