Postdoctoral studies in Translational Cardiology (scholarship) - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

Chronic inflammation is a critical residual risk for the health to CVD transition with limited possibilities to stop it without causing immunosuppression. To tackle this issue, the research group Translational Cardiology at the Department of Medicine Solna propose to identify the resolution of inflammation with focus on vascular smooth cells in atherosclerosis. As chronic inflammation and CVD are driven and regulated by lipids, this postdoctoral project will focus on lipid mediators.

Division

Cardiovascular Medicine, which includes the research group Translational Cardiology located at the Center for Molecular Medicine at Solna campus of Karolinska Institutet.

Duties

Postdoctoral experimental research studies with participation in all aspects of work at the laboratory of the Translational Cardiology research group.

Entry requirements

PhD in cardiovascular science with experience in molecular biology and in vivo experimentation. For this specific project, a specific knowledge of inflammatory pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells will be required for this project.

Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships from KI. 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.

Location

The position is located within the Department of Medicine, Solna. The department consists of eleven divisions and each division consists of several research groups. The position is located within the research group of Translational Cardiology, which is specialized in the resolution of cardiovascular inflammation.
