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.
A 24 months full time position is available within the research group led by Ali Harandi, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Institute for Biomedicine, Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. The overarching objective of the research activities in the group is systems analysis of responses to human vaccines and pathogens using cutting edge omics technology to understand the mode of action of vaccines and to discover biomarkers of immunity to human pathogens.
Subject area
Molecular immunology
Subject area description
The development of novel vaccines may be facilitated by a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of action of vaccines or their individual components as they pertain to their interaction with the immune system. Recent developments in omics technologies powered by systems biology approaches have begun to improve our understanding on how pathogens and vaccines interrogate the host system at molecular level. Ali Harandi's research group is currently involved in several European Commission-funded collaborative projects with the main objective of further enhancing our understanding of vaccine mechanisms of action. The research is carried out by employing conventional immunological methods combined with cutting-edge omics technology and systems biology approaches.
Job assignments
The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct studies within one or more of the ongoing EU vaccine projects in the group. In particular, the postdoctoral fellow will conduct research on molecular signatures of human vaccines and pathogens. This position also partly includes coordination and management activities of ongoing research projects in the team.
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 PhD in immunology or in one of the closely related fields, and documented expertis in conventional immunology and molecular biology techniques are required. Expertise in vaccine immunology research, whole genome transcriptomics and microRNA profiling is a strong merit. The successful candidate is required to possess excellent communicative skills particularly regarding scientific communication in English, a high degree of autonomy as well as team working, a developed way of critical thinking, and a profound ability to meet the deliverables and milestones of large collaborative research projects.
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. First day of employment as agreed.
