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 430 active employees, including 100 PhD students, 50 postdoctoral researchers and 26 professors. Key words are multidisciplinary, bridging, translational, national and international collaborations.
Division
The CTMR started in January 2016 as a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet, Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. The center builds on a deep understanding of translational microbiome research and has established a broad technical, biological, clinical and epidemiological platform for studying complex microbiological communities in well-defined human materials. A part of the infrastructure at Karolinska Institutet is established within the Clinical Genomics facility at SciLifeLab with access to high-throughput next-generation sequencing capacity. The collaboration forms a solid foundation for understanding the contribution of the microbiome to normal physiology and pathophysiology and opens opportunities for development of novel therapies to address gastroenterology, reproductive health and neonatology.
The Center aims at creating a scientific translational environment with a broad interdisciplinary approach to the interface between clinical epidemiology and the microbiological, immunological and genetic aspects of the human microbiome and its association to health and disease.
Duties
The candidate is expected to play strong roles in scientific hypothesis, experimentations, data analysis, presentation of results and manuscript preparation. The candidate will work on several projects regarding phage therapy and microbiota in women health. These projects involve a range of microbiology and molecular biology techniques, including bacterial phages experiments, microbiota culture and analysis, especially in women infections and health field.
Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a position as Postdoctoral Researcher if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc. The term can be extended under special circumstances.
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow who have a strong interest in microbiota and related research. Previous research experience related to both women health and bacterial phage therapy are required as an advantage for our projects. In addition, tumor biology and microbiota skills are considered as an advantage. The applicant should have good communication skills and ability to interact effectively and work productively in a team of researchers. Emphasis will be placed on personal ability and previous experience of laboratory work. Excellent ability to express themselves in speech and writing, including scientific writing in English is a requirement.
