The divisions have separate scientific profiles and vary in size and have several research groups, dealing with both basic and clinical science.

Division
The Petter Brodin’s research group located at Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm is a part of the Unit of Clinical Pediatrics, Karolinska Institutet. The group develops and applies experimental and computational research methods for systems-level analyses of human immune systems. The aim of the team is to understand immune systems’ variation in health and disease and the regulatory mechanisms underlying such variation and adaptation to environmental influences. Another important focus is the development of immune systems in early Life.

Duties and entry requirements
The Petter Brodin group at Science for Life Laboratory and Women’s and Children’s Health is in need for a research assistant to analyze data on patients with ME/CFS in the context of a clinical trial.

The successful candidate must have experience of high dimensional Mass cytometry data analysis, and gene expression using custom pipelines written in python and/or R. Also, analyses of clinical data, high-dimensional plasma protein data analysis as well as analysis is another integral part of the project and experience of this will be important. To be competitive the candidate must have experience in working with high-dimensional, systems-immunology type of datasets, preferably using human samples.

The duties of the research assistant will be to analyze an existing dataset on the underlying immune system perturbation in patients with ME/CFS and undergoing a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Experience with analysis of patients, and experience and knowledge of this rather poorly characterized condition is important for the project.

Application process
The application is to be submitted in Varbi recruitment system.
