Subject area
The position is in biology associated with the molecular biology group
Background
The biology subject at Örebro University focuses on studies of living organisms, from the molecular level to the interaction between organisms, their living conditions and ecosystems. Within the biology subject, there are research groups linked to the Life Science Center. Biological research linked to the Life Science Center includes molecular biology, physiology, developmental biology and microbiology. The research groups within the Life Science Center constitute a strong and creative research environment with strong national and international collaborations, and involves collaboration with industry.
Duties and responsibilities
The appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is intended to enable persons who have recently been awarded their doctoral degree, to consolidate and develop primarily their research/artistic skills. The position focuses on research on the development of molecular biology methods and studies of the relationship between organisms' ability to control physiological functions in response to changes in the environment. The studies will be focused on how gene expression is affected by changes in the environment and how this is linked to the occurrence of indicator species in the environment. The studies require a background in molecular biology and experience in using bioinformatics for gene expression analysis.
Eligibility
Eligible for the appointment as postdoctoral researcher are applicants holding a doctoral degree in biology or in related subject areas. The doctoral degree should have been awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline. Candidates who have obtained their doctoral degree prior to that may however also be considered if special grounds exist (leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, clinical duties, an elected position in a trade union, or other similar circumstances).
Assessment criteria
General assessment criteria include good interpersonal skills and an ability to cooperate as well as the ability and suitability otherwise required to perform the duties well. Particular importance shall be attached to the qualities enabling the candidate to contribute to the future development of both research and education. A demonstrated ability and desire to pursue an academic career is also of importance.
We attach particular importance to the applicant having documented skills and demonstrated independence in the use of molecular biological methods and experience in working with model systems such as Daphnia magna and Danio rerio. In addition, experience with studies of gene regulation in eukaryotic systems is considered to be of great importance. We attach great importance to the ability to communicate research and research results to an international audience, both in writing and orally.
Information
The position is a full-time position for a fixed term of two years. The salary depends on the successful candidate's qualifications and experience.
