At the Department of Oncology-Pathology basic, translational and clinical research and educational activities related to cancer is carried out. Approximately 300 people from over 40 nations are currently working at the department. About 30 research groups with various cancer research profiles are involved and we have around 110 PhD students. The Department of Oncology-Pathology is responsible for undergraduate courses in Pathology, Oncology and Forensic Medicine for medical students, as well as for Tumor biology courses for biomedicine students and Pathology courses for opticians.
Description of the work group
Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) is a collaboration effort between four universities in Stockholm and Uppsala: Stockholm University, Karolinska Institutet, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Uppsala University. The centre combines state-of-the-art equipment with a broad knowledge in translational medicine and molecular biosciences. From 2013, SciLifeLab has an assignment from the government to work as a national infrastructure and the vision is to make SciLifeLab a competitive centre for high-throughput biosciences meant for research within health and environment.
The Cancer proteomics Mass spectrometry group develops and uses proteomics methods to improve personalized cancer therapy. Proteomics is a research field aiming to study global changes in a proteome, for example, to determine the function of a specific protein in the context of a biological network. We are currently engaged in method development projects to improve tissue and plasma proteomics for example using high resolution peptide isoelectric focusing (HiRIEF) coupled to mass spectrometry analysis, improve post translational modification analysis, subcellular relocalisation analysis and targeted proteomics to increase sensitivity and throughput in clinical validation of proteomics data.
We offer a very stimulating and diverse work in a team of motivated co-workers and we now need to strengthen our group with an Assistant Professor in mass spectrometry-based clinical proteomics. The employment as Assistant Professor is time limited for 4 years with the right to apply for promotion to Senior Lecturer.
Duties
We are looking for a scientist that together with Professor Janne Lehtiö and co-workers will work on mass spectrometry-based proteomics cancer projects. The main focus will be to conduct proteomics and proteogenomics studies primarily focused on leukemia which will include biological interpretation of large-scale clinical proteomics data, sample selection and experimental planning. The work will also include participating in and contributing to projects on method development as well as teaching and supervising students. The position will mainly be focused on research.
Eligibility requirements
Those eligible for employment as an Assistant Professor are individuals who have been awarded a PhD or attained equivalent research competence. Preference should be given to those who were awarded a PhD or attained equivalent research competence no more than five years prior to the expiry of the application period for the position of assistant professor.
Those who have been awarded a PhD or attained equivalent research competence earlier may however be considered if special grounds exist. Special grounds refer to illness or parental leave.
Requirements
Other merits
Since the position involves close interaction with several researchers, emphasis is placed on personal skills such as:
Bases of assessment
Scientific expertise will be most important when assessing applicants.
Application process
An application must contain the following documents in Swedish/ English: curriculum vitae, qualifications and description of planned research, presented in accordance with Karolinska Institutet’s qualifications portfolio (http://ki.se/qualificationsportfolio).
The application is to be submitted through the Varbi recruitment system.
An Assistant Professor can apply for promotion to Senior Lecturer. An application is submitted to the Recruitment Committee. In order to be promoted to Senior Lecturer after an assessment by the Recruitment Committee, the applicant must meet the criteria below. The Assistant Professor can choose between two different promotion tracks; promotion to Senior Lecturer with focus on Research or promotion to Senior Lecturer with focus on Education and research.
Promotion of Assistant Professor to Senior Lecturer with focus on Research
Assessment criteria
If the applicant is deemed to fulfill all of the above criteria, they will be assessed by two experts in their field and must meet the eligibility requirements that apply to appointments as a Senior Lecturer at Karolinska Institutet.
