Postdoctoral Researcher position in genome engineering in bovine embryos - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Division
At the division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology we perform advanced research within advanced reproductive medicine. Within this subject the lab of Dr Lanner focus on early human embryo development.

Duties
A postdoctoral position in genome engineering in bovine embryos is available with Fredrik Lanner’s laboratory. The laboratory is investigating how the early human embryo develops during the first week, from fertilization to implantation in the uterine wall. We have established single cell transcriptional road-map of early human embryo development and are now initiating functional gene studies using CRISPR genome editing in the early embryo. The postdoc will initiate genome editing in bovine embryos to elucidate how lineage specification and pluripotency is controlled in the early embryo. We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with suitable background for such studies.

Entry requirements
Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence. The candidates should hold a Ph.D. in relevant area. The candidate should have good communication skills and ability to interact effectively and work productively in a team. Fluency in English is a requirement. You also need to have:

• experience in genome edition of bovine embryos.
• experience in somatic nuclear transfer.
• experience in setting up bovine in vitro fertilization and embryo culture.

Application process
An employment 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 through the Varbi recruitment system.
