Postdoctoral studies in toxicology (scholarship)

 Programmed cell death is one of the most successfully developed area in biomedical research. Disturbances in this process are associated with pathogenesis of various disorders, including cancer. The search for targets in tumor cells, which activate their elimination, is essential for increasing the effectiveness of anticancer therapy. Active, motivated, and willing to focus on these research topic postdocs are welcome.

Division

For many years the Division of Toxicology has focused on understanding of mechanisms of various cell death modalities and using this knowledge in order to understand the pathophysiology of cell-death associated diseases. We are looking for a qualified and enthusiastic person to join the research group of Professor Boris Zhivotovsky. The group is well-known in the field and published extensively in high impact journals. The candidate will also have a chance to collaborate with other groups within Karolinska Institutet and outside of Sweden.

Postdoc in audio-visual information retrieval for artistic processes

 In close cooperation with the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and with Spotify, Ericsson, and teenage engineering, we are looking for a postdoctoral fellow for the Information Retrieval in Embedded Systems for Audiovisual Artistic Processes project with funding from the Knowledge Development Foundation.

The project explores interaction design as a tool to demonstrate how, even in distributed music performances, you can create a sense of immersion and exchange between participants and audience in merged reality. When space and participation are physically dissolved, other sensory parameters, such as the spatial properties of sound, become even more important. The hypothesis is that immersion requires access to continuously relevant musical information and that this is available to the system and to all participants. Well-designed information retrieval, integrated with creative flows, is essential to the artistic process.

You will explore and develop designs and interactive prototypes that enable artists to use and reuse artistic material from their own previous work and from large databases. This material supports reflection on artistic decisions made in the moment during rehearsal or performance.  The tasks include experiential and participatory design, sketching and implementation of interactive prototypes, which includes media programming, merged reality, artificial intelligence and distributed systems. The whole project is situated between interaction design research and artistic research in music and intermedia.

Although the position is formally at Mälardalen University in Västerås you are expected to be prepared to do research at Royal College of Music in Stockholm.

Qualification requirements

The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in computer science, media technology, electronics or an artistic doctorate with a focus on electroacoustic music and intermedia or equivalent. The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period.

You must be able to demonstrate breadth in both knowledge and abilities and demonstrate that you can combine design, technology and artistry. Even if, for example, you have a focus in computer science, you must be able to demonstrate your ability in design and art.  

Decisive importance is attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.

Merit

In addition to academic merits, publishing of phonograms, concerts, installations, portfolio of works, publishing of software, or innovations in electronic musical, or video instruments are meritorious for employment.
