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. At present, the institute has about 360 employees and approximately 400 million SEK in total assets.
Subject area
Mitochondrial DNA replication.
Subject area description
Mitochondria contain their own genome that codes for several subunits of the respiratory chain. We have developed both in vivo and in vitro techniques to study mitochondrial DNA replication.
Job assignments
With this project the candidate will study how the mitochondrial genome is replicated in human cells and how errors in this process can arise. The aim of this project is to study the molecular mechanisms and its regulation of DNA replication. The project mainly involves work with purified proteins and in vitro experiments, but also bioinformatics, molecular and cell biology are necessary for the project.
Eligibility
To qualify as a postdoc the applicant must have been awarded their PhD in a relevant subject prior to the application deadline. Since a postdoctoral position is a qualifying appointment of junior researchers, we focus on those who have a doctoral degree obtain less than 3 years from the application deadline.
The qualifications for teachers are stated in Chapter 4 3-4 § the Higher Education Ordinance.
Assessment
The ideal candidate will have experience in the field of mitochondria, biochemistry and in vitro analyses of protein function. Moreover, experience in cloning, mutagenesis, protein expression and purification, in vitro DNA replication, but also single molecule techniques as Force microscopy knowledge are desirable. The work involves collaboration within and outside the group, therefore good teamwork skills are important. Fluency in English is required since we work in a very international environment.
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
Employment
The employment is temporary, two years, and full time with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine.
