Division

We are looking for a post-doctoral fellow to join us in our research on Innate Lymphoid Cells and allergic diseases in the team of Itziar Martinez-Gonzalez. The Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology (MTC) at Karolinska Institutet conducts research and teaching in immunology, infection biology, cell biology and cancer. MTC has about 400 active employees, including many PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, senior scientists, lecturers and professors.

Duties

The duties included in the position will be:

• To study the role of ILC2 in a mouse model of a topic march.
• To analyze human ILCs from different tissues and generate humanized mouse models.

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.

Who are you?

The group is looking for a highly motivated and ambitious postdoctoral researcher. A strong background in Type 2 immunity and experience with mouse model work is required. Prior experience in ILC2 research and/or single cell sequencing analysis will be prioritized. The candidate is expected to be organized and able to work independently. Good scientific writing and communicating skills will be an asset.

Location: Solna

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.
