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.
The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell - what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them.
The Institute is composed of the following four departments:
• The Department of Infectious Diseases
• The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
• The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• The Department of Laboratory Medicine
At present, the institute has about 360 employees and approximately 440 million SEK in total assets
A research position is available at the Mucins in Infection and Cancer Group at department of Medical Chemistry in Gothenburg, Sweden. Our group investigates the role of mucins during host defense against bacteria, and the biological function of changes in mucosal mucin expression and glycosylation associated with disease. For further information regarding the research in the group see

The project aims to understand interactions between pathogens (Helicobacter pylori and Brachyspira hyodesenteriae) in the mucin environment on their hosts (human, pig and fish) mucous membranes. The planned work includes infection experiments in mice and in vitro mucosal surfaces, structural and functional analysis of mucins, metabolic labelling of these and their interaction with the aforementioned pathogenic bacteria, analysis of bacterial and host gene expression, glycan and protein expression, histology and image analysis.
Qualifications
PhD in a relevant subject. The successful candidate will be selected based on their: i) laboratory skills ii) background and knowledge in a relevant field; iii) oral and written communication skills in English, and iv) analytical skills, ability to work independently and organizational skills. Knowledge/experience of animal infection experiments, working with tissues and cells (human, pig, mouse and fish) mucins, glycosylation, bacterial - host interactions, advanced mammalian cell and bacterial culture, metabolic labelling, image analysis as well as in vitro and in vitro infection and drug development models are particularly valued.
