Postdoctoral fellow in Molecular Immunology
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 450 million SEK in total assets
We are now looking for an ambitious postdoctoral scientist with a genuine interest in immunology to join the Thorén lab at the Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research at the University of Gothenburg. We offer a friendly and stimulating environment in a highly dynamic research area.
Subject area
Molecular Immunology
Subject area description
In the Thorén lab we have a broad interest in human Natural killer (NK) cell biology. The research group comprises a mix of clinical and preclinical scientists and our research activities range from projects aiming at identifying novel NK cell receptor ligands to clinical immunotherapy trials. The postdoc will be part of the Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research which comprises 20-25 research groups focusing on different aspects of cancer biology.
Duties
The project involves fundamental assays of immune cell function as well as cutting edge technologies, such as single-cell RNA sequencing combined with oligo-conjugated mAbs, high-dimensional flow cytometry and CRISPR screens. The successful candidate will work closely together with preclinical and clinical colleagues, bioinformaticians etc and excellent communication skills are essential.
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.

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
We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a doctoral degree in a relevant subject and a strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals. The candidate should be self-motivated, have good communications skills and capacity to work both independently and together in teams. Fluency in English is a requirement.
Eligible applicants will be ranked based on relevance of research background and publication record. Interviews will be held with top-ranked applicants to assess language proficiency, communication skills and analytical skills and personal suitability. The ideal candidate has experience in above-mentioned technologies, such as multidimensional flow cytometry, CRISPR methodology and multi-omics data generation and analysis etc.
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
