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.
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 four departments:
• The Department of Infectious Diseases
• The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
• The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• The Department of Laboratory Medicine
At present, the institute has about 360 employees and approximately 440 million SEK in total assets
We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join our dynamic team of viral immunologists in the laboratory of Davide Angeletti (www.angelettilab.com). The lab is funded by several grants including financing from European Research Council (ERC-StG). The fellow will work on an exciting project combining state of the art immunological techniques, multicolor flow cytometry, single cell RNA sequencing, BCR and TCR sequencing and more, to profile unique patient cohorts in collaboration with the Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Subject area
Human Immunology - COVID19
Subject area description
COVID19 pandemic is spreading at warping speed causing significant morbidity and mortality. Understanding immunological responses, longevity and dynamics of antigen-specific B and T cell responses after infection and vaccination in various patients' cohorts will inform on vaccination policy and new, improved vaccine designs.
Job assignments
The postdoctoral fellow will work in a dynamic and highly collaborative environment. The goal of the project is to characterize immune responses in longitudinal COVID patients' samples and longitudinal vaccination samples. Cohorts to be studied include patients with different disease severity, transplant patients, medical care personnel receiving vaccination, elderly patients and more.
The fellow will use a combination of multicolor flow cytometry, cell sorting, single cell RNA sequencing, CITE-sequencing, BCR and TCR sequencing.
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 strong background in human immunology with advanced proficiency in multicolor flow cytometry is required. Experience with cell sorting, single cell RNA sequencing or BCR sequencing and publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals as a first author are strong merits. Experience in virology is a merit but not required. It is essential that the fellow can work in a large and collaborative group and that they have excellent knowledge of written and spoken English.
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
