The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers 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 340 employees and approximately 450 million SEK in total assets.

Duties
The overall aim of the project is to increase the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of neuroblastoma and thus also downstream / upstream target proteins for Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK).

The research position is part of a project focusing on mechanisms that regulate the initiation, growth and survival of neuroblastoma cancers and their microenvironment. Researchers will use a wide range of methods, such as genetic, cell biological and in vivo models to observe/understand/elucidate upstream/downstream target proteins of ALK both during developmental processes and disease. Researchers will also be involved in analyzes of human material and mouse models with ALK positive neuroblastoma to validate new therapeutic strategies. Signaling pathways will be further investigated regarding their pathological relevance.

Qualifications
Completed doctoral degree is mandatory for the position. The doctoral dissertation must be in a relevant field according to the specific position listed here. Methods used require knowledge in genetics, cell biology, biochemistry, and histology in/or mouse and cell culture systems. Familiarity with biochemical analyzes and cell culture model systems is advantageous. Knowledge and experience to manipulate neuroblastoma (tumor) cell lines with CRISPR-Cas9 technology and verified knowledge to generate cell lines from tumors is a must. Previous knowledge and experience of tyrosine kinase receptors and phosphoproteomics analysis are highly advantageous.

Employment
The employment is full-time and limited (temporary) 7 months, with placement at the Institute of Biomedicine. First day of employment as agreed.
