The Department of Laboratory Medicine consists of seven divisions and is active in many areas of Laboratory Medicine. The department is involved in advanced basic scientific, clinical and epidemiological research. The department is one of the largest departments of education at Karolinska Institutet.
The Division of Pathology is one of the divisions within the Department of Laboratory Medicine in Huddinge. Our research spans from the whole-body level down to specific tissues and organs at the molecular level. Research is conducted in close collaboration with other departments at KI and also the Karolinska University Hospital.
The research group pf Assistant Professor Tuomas Näreoja is part of a highly interactive research environment within the fields of bone biology, cancer research and regenerative medicine.
The main research focus of Dr. Näreojas’s group is to understand signaling in bone remodeling, osteoclast function and inflammatory bone resorption and osteolysis. The group’s long-term aim will be to screen better small molecule drugs for osteoporosis; detect and alleviate inflammatory bone resorption; and to produce bone for applications in regenerative medicine. Dr. Näreoja’s current work focuses on pre-clinical in vitro studies on communication between bone resorbing osteoclasts (OC), osteocytes (OY) inhabiting channels inside bone and bone mineralizing osteoblasts (OB) as they remake bone; and development of diagnostics for inflammatory osteolysis.
The primary aims of the proposed project are to:
Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. 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.
We are seeking a highly talented and enthusiastic Postdoctoral fellow with a Ph.D. degree and a background in 3D model development and bone biology and/or cell biology, as well as a strong track record in research. Candidates with extensive experience in stem cell research, cell signaling advanced cell culture protocols and experience with single-cell transcriptomics and cell sorting are encouraged to apply. Knowledge in bone remodeling, osteoclastogenesis, OB differentiation OB-OC – coupling and osteocyte cultures is preferable. State-of-the-art experience with high-content imaging and analysis is a merit.
The successful candidate should be self-motivated and able to keep herself/himself informed on developments of the relevant research field, and also, have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and organizational skills. The candidate must be able to integrate well into the group and the international and multidisciplinary research environment as a whole. Excellent knowledge of spoken and written English is a requirement. The selected candidate will be a part of a team, and collaborate closely with graduate and undergraduate students.
