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.
Postdoctoral fellow in Single-cell Genomics of Human Development.
The Guibentif lab is looking to recruit a post-doctoral fellow. We are a Swedish Research Council-funded group, establishing novel human pluripotent stem cell-based platforms to study human embryonic development and disease.
We are affiliated to the University of Gothenburg (GU), one of the largest universities in Northern Europe. Given our affiliation to the Institute of Biomedicine and to the Sahlgrenska Center for Cancer Research, we are part of a supportive interdisciplinary environment, comprising basic developmental biologists as well as clinical scientists.
Subject area
Single-cell Genomics of Human Development.
Subject area description
The overall goal of this project is to bridge current in vitro models of human embryonic development with the latest progress in developmental hematopoiesis studied in vivo. This will lead to new frameworks for defining the prenatal transformation events leading to childhood cancer.
We harness single-cell genomics, along with a cross-species approach, to chart the mammalian developmental processes modelled during in vitro stem cell differentiation. Specifically, we are interested in the variety of molecular programmes underlying the emergence of hematopoietic cells at multiple anatomical locations and timepoints in the developing embryo, and into what extent these are reproduced in the dish.
Duties
The selected candidate will be expected to work in a cross-disciplinary team, and to establish single-cell profiling analysis workflows to dissect developmental processes modelled in stem cell differentiation cultures. The selected candidate will carry out aseptic cell culture and molecular biology experiments, and will be expected to take part in manuscript writing and to regularly present his/her own work in group and departmental meetings.
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.
The candidate selection will be based on the cover letter, Curriculum Vitae, interview and contact with references.
See the selection criteria below, in decreasing order of importance:
1 - Expertise in developmental biology, stem cells and/or single-cell profiling techniques
2 - Communication and team work skills
3 - Hands-on experience in chromatin immunoprecipitation, next-generation sequencing library preparation, and/or droplet-based single-cell profiling techniques
4 - Demonstrated skills in human pluripotent stem cell culture and differentiation, fluorescence-activated cell sorting, flow cytometry data analysis, and/or computational analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
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 agreed.
