We are now looking to appoint a postdoc in Experimental Immunology focusing on Environmentally Induced Autoimmunity.
Work assignments
As part of your future tasks, you will work with an autoimmune model to understand the effects of environmental factors and other exogenous substances in the immune system. The work presupposes knowledge of immunological methods, both serological and cellular. In your work, the emphasis will be on compiling results from various research studies into research manuscripts in the English language.
As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.
The workplace
You will be employed at the Division of Inflammation and Infection (II), in Per Hultman's research group.
Qualifications
To be qualified to take employment as postdoc, you must have been awarded a doctoral degree or have a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This degree must have been awarded at the latest by the point at which LiU makes its decision to employ you.
It is considered advantageous if your doctoral degree is no older than three years at application deadline for this job. If there are special reasons for having an older doctoral degree – such as taking statutory leave – then these may be taken into consideration.
We are looking for you who have a doctorate in medicine/biomedicine with previous experience of working independently in a laboratory environment. The position requires documented knowledge and practical competence in a number of immunological methods such as Western blot, RNA and DNA purification, cDNA synthesis, rtPCR, and ELISA. We expect that you also have practical knowledge of scriptwriting, including statistical processing of data, figures and images as well as reference management.
It is an advantage if you have previous experience of separation of animal immune cells, cell culture, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry, as well as the use of experimental animals.
The employment requires very good knowledge of both English and Swedish in speech and writing.
You should be independent, structured and take responsibility for your work. As a person, you are confident and you can solve problems on your own with the help of creative thinking and careful analysis. Your work is of high quality and you work to understand and maintain the subject-specific knowledge. You are easy to work with others and can communicate with your surroundings through a responsive approach.
