Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

Do you want to explore hematopoiesis from a unique perspective with the latest single-cell technologies? Then you should join our team working at the intersection of experimental and computational biology.

Your mission

Your mission is to decipher normal and malignant hematopoiesis with focus on mast cell differentiation. The research is performed in an interdisciplinary setting with strong collaborations with clinical departments as well as national and international research groups. Key technologies applied to primary samples from healthy subjects and patients with mast cell-related hematologic diseases include FACS sorting, cell fate assays, single-cell omics, and methods to genetically manipulate cells, such as CRISPR-Cas9.

Your profile

The research in Dahlin’s lab is experimental and computational in nature. We are currently looking to recruit a person with a strong wet lab background. Experience with FACS, library preparation for sequencing, and techniques to genetically manipulate cells is an advantage. You are curious and you want to contribute to shaping your own postdoc experience, including your projects. You also need to be organized and keep detailed records of data and experiments.

You need to demonstrate a strong ability to lead projects independently and show excellent teamwork and cooperation skills, as you will work in a dynamic group of scientists with different areas of expertise. Proven ability to write scientific articles and orally present results is required. Excellent communication skills in English are necessary, as the group has an extensive network of international collaborations.

Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. 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) date of employment. This must be substantiated by the applicant's main supervisor, director or equivalent.
