hela Sverige The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. 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 450 million SEK in total assets
Subject area
Long non coding-RNA (IncRNA) and cancer biology
Subject area description
The aim of the project is to enhance our understanding of the functional role of long noncoding RNAs tumor initiation and progression.
Duties
The candidate will work on growth factor induced long noncoding RNAs. The candidate will use RNA biology, cell and molecular biology techniques to understand the molecular mechanisms by which long noncoding RNAs control growth factor regulated biological functions. The candidate will investigate the potential role of growth factor regulated long noncoding RNA in cancer development and progression using cancer cell lines and animal models.
The candidate will be performing cell and molecular biology techniques, RNA Scope, and chromatin oligo immunoprecipitation (ChOP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) to understand the role of long noncoding RNA in cancer. The candidate should have expertise in developing xenograft models.
Eligibility
The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.
To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree, a doctoral degree in art or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made.
In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist. Special grounds relate to leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, commissions of trust within union organisations, service within the defence services or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or service/assignment relevant to the subject area.
Assessment criteria
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
We are seeking highly motivated candidates with a strong technical experience in RNA biology and cell & molecular biology. To be eligible for the employment, applicants must have a PhD in molecular and cell biology. The prospective candidate should have good experience in cell biology and molecular biology techniques. The candidates should have extensive experience RNA related technologies such as chromatin oligo immunoprecipitation (ChOP), RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), RNA-ScopeTM, culturing of primary and cancer cells and developing xenograft models to study the role lncRNA in cancer development and progression. The applicant should be fluent in English both in written and spoken forms.
Employment
The employment is full time and temporary, two years with the possibility of one year's extension, with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment as agree
