Division
A permanent position as research engineer is available for a motivated individual at the Comparative Medicine, Karolinska Center for Transgene Technology (KCTT), Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. KCTT is a core facility at Karolinska Institutet focusing on the production, cryopreservation and breeding of genetically modified mice. The cryopreservation unit is a node in the EMMA (European Mouse Mutant Archive) network linking to corresponding networks in Asia and North America to provide repositories for worldwide initiatives to produce and characterize each and every gene in the mouse genome.
In the near future, the cryobank on KI may expand a branch to host a tissue bank. This function may be regional serving the scientific community at KI only or a concerted European effort similar to that holding the EMMA.
Duties
The successful candidate will work with IVF and freezing of mouse embryos/sperm and transfer of pre-implantation embryos into recipient mice. In addition, the candidate will also be responsible for the screening of the produced/re-derived mice including DNA preparation and PCR.
Establishing new methods and refining existing methods in collaboration with other groups, mainly within the European Community as also lecturing, primarily in English, will be major parts of the duties.
The candidate must be able to work in an integrated team, and timely and efficiently coordinate the freezing/rederivation activities with customers and co-workers both upstream and downstream in the process. Furthermore, the candidate should be willing to participate in meetings and training workshops outside Sweden.
As coordinator of the cryobank you are expected to also administer/operate the build-up and maintenance of a tissue biobank on KI.
Qualifications
To qualify, the candidate must hold a doctoral degree in biomedical research (developmental biology, embryology, or molecular biology is meritorious) or veterinarian science, has a commitment to science and is service-oriented with good organizational ability plus should possess good written and oral communication skills in English. The candidate should have a research animal education equal to FELASA-C level or higher, which is not older than 8 years. If the applicant is not holding a FELASA-C accreditation it is expected that the candidate take the course on KI at the earliest convenience. Skills in DNA preparation from tissues, PCR and other molecular biology methods as also basic skills in handling of mice are required. It is an advantage also to have good knowledge in mouse genetics and molecular biology.
Further techniques in animal research like small animal surgery, preparation of organs and tissues, perfusion of mice, tissue staining and embedding, handling of pre-implantation embryos and skills in cell culture are crucial.
Particular emphasis is placed on communication skills and experience from coordinating projects.
Application process
The employment application must contain the following documents in English:
1. A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defense, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
2. A complete list of publications
3. A summary of current work (no more than one page)
The application is to be submitted on the NetRecruiter system.
Karolinska Institutet always applies a 6 month trial period when announcing permanent employment.
