Do you want to contribute to improving human health?

We are developing the pharmaceutical interventions of the future and are looking for like-minded scientists with a passion of protein modulation and design. This is an exciting opportunity shaping the technology of chemical switching developed at Karolinska Institutet. Come and join a vibrant team with multidisciplinary background and international collaborations. You will find the best team atmosphere, perform world-class science and experience one of the greatest cities of the planet.


Division

The post will be placed at the Center for Molecular Medicine and the Department of Oncology and Pathology. Situated between Karolinska Institutet and Hospital, we are at the very heart of innovation with access to basic, translational and clinical expertise.

Duties

We are looking for a researcher with a PhD in Biochemistry or a related discipline.

The project will encompass protein science including but not limited to expression, purification and assay development, biochemical as well as biophysical. Techniques may include (Nano)-DSF, MST, SPR, NMR, ITC and others. Expertise in studying post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation and methylation, as well as membrane proteins, expression in insect cells and some qualification in the solving of X-Ray or Cryo-EM structures is a big plus.

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. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.

The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.

Location: Stockholm, Center for Molecular Medicine

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.

Application process

An application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:

  • A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
  • A complete list of publications
  • A summary of current work (no more than one page)

The application is to be submitted on the Varbi recruitment system at the latest 5th September.
