Postdoctoral Researcher in cancer genetics to the group of Qiang Pan-Hammarström - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Division
The Division of Clinical Immunology conducts research on several aspects of human immunology with a strong focus on developmental immunology, immunotherapy and pathologies associated with the immune system. http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=41584&a=21755&l=en

Duties
The fellow will be engaged in in-depth analysis of the multi-omic data of B cell lymphoid malignancies, with focus on diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The whole genome or whole exome sequencing data will be integrated with the transcriptomic, proteomic, immunological and functional data. Techniques applied include MS, next generation sequencing platforms such as whole-exome, whole-genome sequencing, RNAseq, single cell sequencing and gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9. The fellow will be mainly responsible for the bioinformatic analysis of data, but may also be involved in downstream studies such as validation of genetic alterations by complementary techniques and functional testing. Finally, the fellow is expected to assume a major role in the writing of scientific publications and grant applications.

Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a position as Postdoctoral Researcher if he or she has obtained a PhD in the fields of Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Oncology and Immunology, proteomic or related fields no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc. The term can be extended under special circumstances.

The applicant should be a talented and highly motivated researcher who is able to work within a team environment. The candidate is expected to possess a strong background in analyzing large scale sequencing and MS data. Good knowledge of molecular biology, cancer genetics, RNA editing or the CRISPR/Cas 9 technology is an advantage. Furthermore, the candidate should possess excellent communicating and writing skills in English.

Application process
An employment application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:

1. A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
