Researcher in Biology and Muscle Pathophysiology (Scholarship)
A Postdoctoral position is available in the research group of Associate Professor Stefano Gastaldello at the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, Karolinska Institutet.
Our major contribution towards the muscle physiology field is to identify new skeletal muscle proteins targeted by the Small Ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) moiety, in normal muscle activity and in muscle disorders. The identification of numerous key regulatory proteins, which functions are controlled by SUMO modification may predict the state of the disease and provide useful information for muscle disorders diagnosis, progression and prognosis.
We aim also to characterize the underlying mechanisms of the up/down-stream signals that regulate expression and activity of SUMO enzymes since they will provide new useful information on SUMO muscle physiology and suggest novel approaches to manipulate SUMOylation in order to fighting muscle diseases.

Entry requirements
Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate.
The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.
Other requirements
The candidate must have experience with:
Desired skills:
We seek exceptional, dedicated, self-motivated and hardworking individuals with a positive attitude and with substantial experience in muscular field research. The candidate should have a strong background in molecular and cellular biology, and have a strong track record (as shown by first-author publications in international peer-reviewed journals).
Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are required.
Type of scholarship
The amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.
