Postdoctoral studies in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience (scholarship) - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Division
We are seeking talented and enthusiastic researchers with expertise in cell signaling, cell biology and mouse genetics to advance investigations on the functions and mechanisms of growth factor receptor signaling and physiology in the immun and nervous system. 

Duties
The research entails studies of different receptor systems using molecular methods, cell culture models, as well as mutant mice carrying specific mutations in these receptors.

Entry requirements
Strong and documented expertise in cellular, molecular and histological methods as applied to studies of mouse models in the area of immunology and/or neuroscience is a requirement for consideration. The successful candidate is expected to be sufficiently independent to formulate questions, design experiments and perform research.

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.

The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.

Type of scholarship
The amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis. In exceptional cases, shorter periods may be acceptable.

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

• 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
• A complete list of publications
• Statement of research interests

Applicants should arrange to have at least two confidential letters of reference sent independently by referees to either email address.

The application is to be submitted on the Varbi recruitment system.
