Titel: Postdoctoral fellow in vaccine response evaluation

Beskrivning av arbetsuppgifter:
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 focus of the research group is on vaccine evaluation, particularly on studying novel immunization strategies and the mode of action of vaccines and adjuvants. 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. The research group is currently involved in several European Commission-funded collaborative projects with the main objective to improve our understanding of vaccine mechanisms of action. The research is done by employing conventional immunological methods combined with cutting-edge omics technologies. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to conduct studies within one or more of the ongoing EU vaccine projects. In particular, the postdoctoral fellow will be involved in research on evaluation of vaccine- induced immune responses in humans and animal models using conventional immunological methods as well as omics (including transcriptomics and mirnomics).

Beskrivning av kvalifikationer:
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 with proven track record in vaccine immunology research and documented experiences and expertise of classical immunological techniques (ELISA, ELISPOT, Luminex and work with primary cells) are required. Other required merits include hands on experience and expertise in transcriptomics analysis of immune response to human viruses and vaccines, animal models of viral infectious diseases, and virological analysis methods. The successful candidate will have excellent communicative skills particularly regarding scientific communication in English, a high degree of autonomy, a developed way of critical thinking, and documented ability to work successfully in a group. Regulations for the evaluation of qualifications for academic positions are given in Chapter 4, Section 3 - 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance.
