Postdoctoral Researcher in Immunology - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Division
We are seeking an immunologist at the post-doctoral level to work in the team of Professor Karlsson Hedestam at MTC. The group studies B cell-mediated immunity and immunogenetics. For more information about the research, see http://ki.se/research/karlsson-hedestam

Duties
The project aims to investigate antigen-specific B cell responses induced by immunization with structurally defined antigens. The group previously isolated panels of antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from single-sorted memory B cells for a detailed examination of the targeted epitope specificities. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) methodology, the group also established protocols and software for analysis of expressed antibody repertoires from immunized subjects to allow tracing of mAb lineages in longitudinal samples using the IgDiscover package. The current project aims to build on these methods using a broad range of methodologies involving molecular biology, genetics, protein biochemistry, NGS and bioinformatics.

Entry requirements
Qualified to be employed as a postdoctor is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence.  For the current position, experience with NGS, antibody repertoire analysis and analysis packages such as IgDiscover is required. 

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
2. A complete list of publication
3. Verifications for crediting of illness, military service, work for labour unions or student organisations, parental leave or similar circumstances

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