[徵才]瑞典哥德堡大學 博士後研究員
https://reurl.cc/9rXjXY
Postdoctoral Fellow in immunology
The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse
knowledge. 53 500 students and 6 500 employees make the university a large and
inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study
programmes attract scientists and students from around the world. With new
knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.
At the Department of Rheumatology and Inflammation Research, at the Institute
of Medicine, the main research areas are inflammation and inflammatory diseases
irrespective of whether they are caused by allergies, infections or are
autoimmune diseases. The aim is to investigate the underpinning mechanisms
behind the inflammation. Several of our researchers also work as senior
consultants at the clinics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, which is a great
advantage especially for translational research.
We are seeking an ambitious postdoc with a special interest in immunology which
will join Mattias Svensson’s research group in order to explore novel roles
for innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in inflammation and autoimmunity. We offer a
stimulating and enjoyable environment in a translational research team with
both clinical and pre-clinical researchers.
Subject area
Immunology
Subject area description
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease that
primarily affects joints of the hands, feet and knees. The pathogenesis of RA
involves a complex interplay between the immune system and joint lining
stromal cells (e.g. synoviocytes). Synoviocytes become activated in RA and
play a key role in joint inflammation and destruction, which are main
features of the disease. Therefore, inflammatory mediators that activate
synoviocytes and promote their aggressive and joint-destructive behaviour are
considered important drug targets in RA.
The activation of synoviocytes is mainly driven by factors produced by immune
cells that accumulate and expand within the joint during RA. Although innate
lymphoid cells (ILCs) have been identified within the joint of patients with
RA, their contribution to disease pathogenesis remains largely unknown. This
project is aimed at exploring the regulation and function of ILCs in RA.
Job assignments:
The successful candidate will work on characterizing the regulation and
function of ILCs in development of rheumatoid arthritis. Experimental animal
models (K/BxN and SKG) as well as unique human materials are used to study the
role of ILCs in arthritis. In addition, in vitro cell culture assays with both
immune cells and synoviocytes are a vital part of this project. Immunological
(e.g. flow cytometry), histological (e.g. confocal microscopy) and molecular
biology (e.g. qPCR) methods will be used for analysis of cells and tissues. The
candidate will be encouraged and expected to conduct their research
independently and to plan and execute research tasks in a timely manner.
Additionally, the candidate is expected to assist in the supervision of
students as well as contribute to common lab duties.
Eligibility:
To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher the applicant should hold a PhD in a
relevant subject. Since postdoctoral constitutes a qualifying appointment for
junior researchers, we aim to target those who have a doctoral degree not older
than 3 years from the application deadline.
Assessment
We are looking for an ambitious and motivated candidate with a special interest
in immunology. The candidate should have a doctoral degree within immunology
and/or rheumatology and at least one publication in relevant field. Previous
experience of working with experimental animal models of arthritis/autoimmunity
is a merit. When assessing the applicant’s qualifications, previous experience
of working with immunology (e.g. flow cytometry), molecular and histology
methods as well as cell-culture will be taken into account. The candidate
should be able to work both independently as well as in a group and have good
communications skills (written and spoken) in English. Great emphasis will be
placed on the candidate’s personal suitability for the position.
