CRISPR Functional Genomics – SciLifeLab National Facility

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

About CFG.

CFG (https://www.scilifelab.se/units/crispr-functional-genomics/) is a national SciLifeLab facility based at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics in Biomedicum at Solna campus. We apply high-throughput CRISPR technologies to support the Swedish research community in the design, execution, and interpretation of CRISPR-based functional genomic experiments.

Your mission

You will support our team with mammalian cell culture, molecular biology, and more specialized tasks such as lentiviral work, cell sorting, and NGS library preparation. You will also be responsible for smooth lab operation, ordering, chemical inventory, risk assessments, biosafety, and waste management.

Your profile

Candidates must hold a university degree in a relevant subject (BSc or MSc). Prior extensive experience in mammalian cell culture is a requirement. Documented prior experience in practical execution of CRISPR-Cas9-based pooled genetic screening and other genome-editing techniques is a significant advantage. A full grasp of standard molecular biology techniques is expected. Familiarity with lentiviral tools, flow cytometry and cell sorting are of merit. We work in a fast-paced environment, and excellent time management and research documentation skills, as well as the ability to multi-task, are essential.

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. Our vision is to pursue the development of knowledge about life and to promote a better health for all. At Karolinska Institutet, we conduct successful medical research and hold the largest range of medical education in Sweden. Karolinska Institutet is also a state university, which entitles you to several good benefits through our collective agreement. And you get to practice freely in our modern wellness facilities, where trained staff are on site.
