Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

In our lab, we work with cutting-edge research in the hematopoiesis field. We are now looking for a postdoc who will get the opportunity to combine the latest experimental techniques in single-cell biology with bioinformatics to chart the differentiation of mast cell.

Your mission

Dahlin’s lab aims to decipher normal and aberrant 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 transcriptomics, and methods to genetically manipulate cells. We are now seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic person, who wishes to lead projects on mast cell differentiation in normal and aberrant hematopoiesis.

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. However, experience with bioinformatics, including R and Scanpy, is an advantage.

Experience with FACS, library preparation for sequencing, and techniques to genetically manipulate cells is an advantage.

Applicants need to demonstrate a strong competence in running projects independently but also show excellent abilities for teamwork and cooperation within a dynamic group of scientists with broad expertise and from different nationalities. Proven ability to write scientific articles and orally present results is required. Excellent communication skills in English are needed, 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.
