Open Positions
Current vacancies in Lund Stem Cell Center Research Groups:
Postdoctoral Position in Human Systems Immunology
The Consiglio Group is looking for a curious and driven candidate interested in human systems immunology, multiomics methods, and sex differences in immunity to investigate how biological sex impacts human immune responses.
The project will entail profiling the immune system of unique cohorts that display varying levels of sex hormone signaling, such as during women's reproductive cycle or in cancer patients receiving inhibitors for sex hormone signaling. Immune profiling will include transcriptomic, epigenomic, proteomic and high dimensional cytometry profiling. The project can also involve learning computational methods of high dimensional data analysis if you are interested in such training.
The laboratory is committed to fostering a respectful, supportive, and engaging learning atmosphere. Individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply for the fully funded 2-year postdoctoral fellowship (possibility of extension).
Candidates must hold a PhD acquired within three years of the application deadline or show proof of imminent PhD degree completion by the agreed start date and have both experience and interest in immunology/ molecular biology wet lab methods.
Application Deadline: 28 April, 2024
PhD position in germline stem cell development and fertility
The Gopal Group is seeking a doctoral student with an interest in extracellular biology and germline stem cells to elucidate how glycans and glycan binding molecules regulate germline stem cell development and fertility. The goal is to identify how protein bound and free carbohydrate chains are their interactors control stem cell fate and fertility. To decipher the basic signalling, the group employs Caenorhabditis elegans, an invertebrate with highly conserved signalling in germline stem cells, using 2D and 3D cell culture models for application-level studies.
The duties of the applicant include planning and performing the experiments in the lab. The PhD student will collect data and participate in discussions with members of the lab. The project will involve learning novel biochemical, genetic, and gene modification tools such as CRISPR/Cas9, confocal microscopy and bioinformatics.
Candidates should have an MSc in biomedicine or similar, or equivalent knowledge acquired in Sweden or abroad, excellent oral and written proficiency in English, previous experience in research labs during degree projects, proven ability in thesis writing, and a good understanding of cell-molecular biology and a strong interest in extracellular biology and stem cells.
Individuals from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline: 24 May 2024 11:59 PM CEST
