哥德堡大学博士后职位招聘–分子和细胞生物学方向

A postdoctoral scholarship is available to study radiation induced DNA-damage and repair in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and iPSC derived differentiated cells. The position is in the Johansson-Hammarsten group at the department of Laboratory Medicine, Institute of Biomedicine at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

Project Description
The project aims to investigate the differences in radiation-induced DNA-damage response in different normal tissues, using differentiated iPSCs as a model. Mass spectrometry of phosphorylated proteins as well as multi-parameter flow cytometry will be used to detect phosphorylation profiles, while molecular biology techniques such as immuno-blotting and microscopy will be used to validate the data. This project is run in parallel to clinical studies of patient sensitivity to radiation therapy.

Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate who has recently obtained a PhD in molecular and cell biology. The applicant should have documented experience in cell culture, preferably stem cells or iPSCs. Further, documented experience in common molecular biology techniques for DNA, RNA and protein analyses (such as PCR, Q-PCR, cloning, and transfection, immunoblotting, fluorescence microscopy) is required. Experience in mass spectrometry-sample preparation, and flow cytometry is an advantage. Knowledge of DNA-damage repair and radiation biology is also a merit. The candidate is expected to contribute to the design as well as execution of the experimental work. The suitable candidate will be able to work independently and in collaboration with others. Fluency in spoken and written English is essential.

The scholarship
Funding is in the form of a tax-exempt scholarship. The funding is provided by Cancerfonden for a maximum of two years.

How to apply
The position is available immediately, or according to agreement.
