The position is connected to Professor Eva Sverremark-Ekström's research group and will mainly be associated with a new collaborative research project between two research groups at Stockholm university and Region Stockholm, where we aim to investigate underlying immune- and epigenetic mechanisms in cardiovascular disease. The project is based on in vitro work on material from clinical cohorts.
Main responsibilities
We are looking for a highly motivated and focused candidate who is a good team worker, yet with an ability to work independently. The successful applicant will utilize state-of-the-art approaches aimed at obtaining a fundamental molecular understanding of how immune- and epigenetic processes contribute to the development of cardiovscular disease, but also inflammatory conditions in general. The candidate will mainly work with material from human primary cells and needs to be proficient in methods such as ELISA and immune array-based techniques, as well as familiar with transcriptome analyses (RNA-seq) and epigenetic analyses (e.g., ChIP, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) as well as with the handling and processing of data generated from these large-scale analyses.
Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
Assessment criteria
The degree must have been completed at latest before the employment decision is made, but no more than three years before the closing date. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances. Special reasons refer to sick leave, parental leave, elected positions in trade unions, service in the total defense, or other similar circumstances as well as clinical attachment or service/assignments relevant to the subject area.
In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills in immunology in combination with molecular biology and the expertise in the methods mentioned above. Excellent English language skills, both written and spoken, are a requisite. Laboratory supervision of students is a merit. An ability to communicate in Swedish is a further merit, as the project involves contact with people in the hospital where English is not used on a routine basis.
Terms of employment
The position involves full-time employment for a minimum of two years and a maximum of three years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date 2024-04-15 or as per agreement.
Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
