Division

The research will be performed in the Division for Obstetrics and Gynecology. The Perinatal Regenerative Medicine Group conducts research in stem cell biology with a focus on translational prenatal and pediatric stem cell therapies.

Duties

As a postdoctoral researcher you will perform research on mesenchymal stem cells and develop methods related to the GMP manufacture of the stem cells and their mechanism of action. You will prepare, lead, perform and report your projects.

Entry requirements

You are qualified to be employed as a postdoctoral researcher if you have a doctorate or an equivalent scientific competence. The candidate should have extensive experience in primary cell culture, preferably mesenchymal stem cells, and RNA sequencing analysis. Previous experience in stem cell biology and cell therapies are strong merits. The candidate should be highly motivated, ambitious, and have good communicative skills. We value personal qualities in the selection of candidates.

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.
