Postdoctoral studies in viral pathogenesis and ribosomal bigenesis in cancer (scholarship) : Stockholm, Sweden

Postdoctoral studies in viral pathogenesis and
ribosomal bigenesis in cancer (scholarship)
Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medicine, Solna, Experimental cardiovascular research unit

Duties
A post doc position is now open for a highly motivated scientist with a strong background in virology and cell biology. The project focuses on understanding how cytomegalovirus (CMV) contributes to cancer. The applicant will be working on a collaborative basic science project of groups of professor Cecilia Söderberg-Nauclér at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, and professor Jiri Bartek, at the Danish Cancer Society Research Center, Copenhagen. The major aim of this work is to understand, in mechanistic terms, how does CMV subvert the normal cellular pathways and promotes cell transformation. These studies will involve cell and molecular biology and virology approaches and analyses of cell phenotypes, especially in human cell culture and xenografts. Emphasis will be on major cancer-related, stem-cell and genome-integrity pathways and their aberrations, and their engagement and relevance for the CMV-triggered tumorigenesis. Both host laboratories and institutes offer a very stimulating, internationally highly competitive environment, and state-of-the art technologies and teams of experts.

Entry requirements
Applicants should have a strong background in virology and or cell biology. Applicants with competence of RNA biology and ribosomal biogenesis will receive priority. Work within the areas for the announcement is strongly considered as an additional qualification.

Scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies may be awarded to individuals who come from other countries with the intention of remaining in Sweden only while obtaining all or part of their education.

The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications
correspond to a Swedish PhD or higher. Having received a salary or other remuneration from Karolinska Institutet during the past two years may be disqualifying. One requirement for receiving a scholarship for postdoctoral studies is central registration as a postdoc.

Type of scholarship
Karolinska Institutet awards scholarships to pursue postdoctoral studies. This educational scholarship, which is paid for a maximum of two years within five years after the receipt of a PhD or the equivalent, is tax-exempt.

The amount is set for a maximum of six months at a time and is paid out on a monthly basis.

Application process
An application must contain the following documents in English:
1. Curriculum vitae and qualifications, presented in accordance with Karolinska Institutet’s
qualifications portfolio (http://ki.se/meritportfolj )
2. A complete list of publications
3. A summary of current work (no more than one page)
4. Verifications for crediting of illness, military service, work for labour unions or student
organisations, parental leave or similar circumstances
5. Verification from the thesis defence committee or the equivalent (only if the thesis defence is scheduled within three months after the application deadline)

The application is to be submitted on the NetRecruiter system.

The Department of Medicine, Solna, is one of the largest departments at Karolinska Institutet. The department consists of several units that are separated into different research groups. The core activities of the department are research, doctoral education and undergraduate education for medical and biomedical students. The research has three main profiles: allergy, cardiovascular medicine and inflammatory diseases.

Karolinska Institutet is one of the world´s leading medical universities. Its mission is to contribute to the improvement of human health through research and education. Karolinska Institutet accounts for over 40 per cent of the medical academic research conducted in Sweden and offers the country´s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences. Since 1901 the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has selected the Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine.

Pursuant to the regulations of the Swedish National Archives, applications are kept on file for two years after the appointment has gained legal force. The regulations do not apply to attachments that have been printed or otherwise published. Karolinska Institutet strives to provide a workplace that has approximately the same number of women and men, is free of discrimination and offers equal opportunity to everyone.
