Duration of employment: 2 years. Extent 100%
First day of employment: As agreed
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 vaccines and adjuvants using cutting edge omics technology to understand the mode of action of vaccines and to discover blood biomarkers of vaccine immunogenicity and safety.
Subject area
Systems biology analysis of human vaccines
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, in close collaboration with a biostatistician in the team, will conduct research on profiling microRNA transcripts induced in the blood by human vaccines.
Eligibility
An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at the University of Gothenburg. 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 other relevant biomedical field, and documented experiences and expertise in molecular biology techniques are required. Expertise in whole genome transcriptomics and/or microRNA profiling is a plus. The successful candidate is required to be knowledgeable in immunology and molecular biology, as well as possesses 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 the project.
Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
