Research Specialist in developmental biology and regenerative medicine - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

We are opening a position as Research Specialist in computational developmental biology and stem cell research at Adameyko lab (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden). 

Description of the subject area

The knowledge gained from developmental biology research is widely applied in regenerative medicine. Thus, we hope to improve human health via discovering new fundamental ideas about how development, stem cells, and regeneration work.

Our laboratory advances a broad spectrum of projects related to developmental biology, stem cells, EvoDevo and regenerative medicine. The methodology includes classical developmental biology approaches blended with single cell transcriptomics, 2D sequencing and 3D-reconstructions of tissues and organs based on optical or X-ray methods (micro-CT, synchrotron).

The neural crest stem cells is our primary model system, where we address general principles of cell fate choice, transcriptional and epigenetic control of a lineage progression, morphogenesis, and tissue shaping.

Mission and assessment criteria

We hope to recruit a person with profound experience in experimental developmental biology and solid track record along these lines. Previous experience with neural crest or neurodevelopment is an advantage. The applicant is expected to work in a semi-independent manner, interacting with PhD and master students in Adameyko lab. When it comes to the practical skills, we expect the applicant to be fluent in experimental lineage tracing techniques (Cre-based, such as Confetti) with a hope that the applicant will be familiar with clonal analysis techniques such as lentiviral clonal barcoding systems, genome scarring systems, computational predictions (Numbat and similar).

After an overall assessment of the expertise and merits of the applicants in relation to the subject area, Karolinska Institutet will determine which of them has the best potential to contribute to a positive development of the activities at KI.

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible for employment as a Research Specialist, in addition to holding a Degree of Doctor, PhD, or having equivalent scientific expertise, the applicant must have demonstrated research expertise as well as have documented research experience after defending their doctoral dissertation. 

What do we offer?

A creative and inspiring environment with wide-ranging expertise and interests. Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading medical universities. Here, we conduct successful medical research and hold the largest range of medical education in Sweden. At KI, you get to meet researchers working with a wide range of specialisms and methods, giving you ample opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the various scientific fields within medicine and health. It is the crossover collaborations, which have pushed KI to where it is today, at the forefront of global research. Several of the people you meet in healthcare are educated at KI. A close relationship with the health care providers is important for creating groundbreaking top quality education and research. Karolinska Institutet is also a state university, which entitles you to several benefits through our collective agreement.

Location: Campus Solna, Biomedicum.
