Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Chemistry I

Division
Division of Physiological Chemistry I stems from the laboratory of Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779-1848), the great Swedish scientist known for a variety of achievements. These include the discovery, together with his co-workers, of six new elements. Berzelius, the first Chemistry professor at KI, was an avid proponent of mass measurements, having published in 1818 a table of accurate weights of 45 out of the 49 known elements. Continuing Berzelius’ tradition, the Division bases its research on mass spectrometry. It also hosts two core facilities that perform proteomics analyses. One of the focal points of Division’s research is method development for proteomics

Duties
The candidate will participate in research concerning application in developments of single cell proteomics, which is an emerging area using bottom up mass spectrometry based proteomics to characterize protein profiles of single cells. The goal is to develop and establish a robust analytical workflow that can be applied to numerous biological problems, in which cellular heterogeneity plays a center role, such as cancer progression and cell differentiation. The successful candidate will contribute to this ground breaking research with experimental developments, performing and designing data analysis as well as presenting results in forms of scientific publications and presentations

Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a position as postdoctoral research fellow if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than four years before the last date of employment as postdoc. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in analytical chemistry, proteomics and mass spectrometry. Good knowledge of spoken and written English are absolutely required as well as strong fundamental knowledge of bioinformatics and R programming skills are desired

Application process
An employment application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
  • Curriculum vitae and qualification,
  • Verification from the thesis defense committee or the equivalent (only if the thesis defense is scheduled within six months after the application deadline)
  • A complete list of publications
  • A summary of current work (no more than one page) and a research statement
The application is to be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system.
