Postdoctoral fellow in Intestinal physiology and metabolic
pathophysiology, with focus on inflammatory resolution
Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 24 months
Extent: 100 %
Location: Institute of Medicine, Gothenburg
First day of employment: 12 January 2017
Reference number: PER 2016/480
Our primary research focus at department of molecular and clinical medicine is on metabolism,
diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. We support and promote research and teaching in
translational medicine to improve health and to benefit society.
Subject area
Intestinal physiology and metabolic pathophysiology, with focus on inflammatory resolution
Specific subject description
Increased transmucosal permeability in the small intestine may cause a chronic low-active
inflammation that causes metabolic disease. We are investigating if lipids that promote
inflammatory resolution restore the intestinal mucosal barrier function, and whether this would
attenuate obesity-related diseases.
Job assignments
As a post-doctoral fellow the work will take place at the Wallenberg Laboratory at the
Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. The primary focus will be to investigate
gastrointestinal physiology in obesity, via in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as ex vivo
analysis of human intestine biopsies. The position entails some international travels, as parts of
the project will be performed in collaboration with international laboratories. The candidate
must therefore be willing and able to travel abroad for short periods.
Eligibility
To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher the applicant should hold a PhD in a relevant subject.
Since postdoctoral constitutes a qualifying appointment for junior researchers, we aim to target
those who have a doctoral degree not older than 3 years from the application deadline.
Assessment
Applicants should hold a PhD in gastrointestinal physiology, or a similar field. The applicant
must have an excellent understanding of general gastrointestinal physiology and expertise in
animal models of intestinal mucosal permeability is a requirement. The applicant must have
experience of the following experimental techniques: Ussing chambers permeability assays, laser
capture microdissection, immunohistochemistry, and real time PCR. The applicant must have
experience with animal work and must have a Swedish certificate for working with laboratory
animals. Furthermore, the applicant must have experience in bioinformatics, programming (R
language) and sequence handling. The applicant must have good multi-tasking skills, a strong
sense of team work and experience with industry collaboration.
Good communication skills (written and oral) in English are necessary
