PhD Student Position in Medical Science in Research Group Molecular Tools, Sweden: medical and clinical genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology

The department of immunology, genetics and pathology at Uppsala University (http://www.igp.uu.se) has a broad research profile, with several strong research groups in different fields of science, e.g. medical and clinical genetics, bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology and method development. The department was founded to promote a closer collaboration between clinical and pre-clinical research and part of the activity is integrated with the clinics of genetics and pathology-cytology at the University Hospital, Uppsala. Rudbeck Laboratory has access to state-of-the-art technologies, with core facilities for cell analysis, confocal microscopy, DNA-sequencing and genotyping.

We look for you who want to study for a PhD degree in the field of molecular medicine. The main project will be to investigate if measurements of protein activity status provide advantages for cancer diagnostics (leukemia and circulating tumour cells). Protein activity is determined as protein interactions and post-translational modifications, using flow cytometry and microscopy. The work will also consist of development of new methods in molecular biology.

The successful candidate will devote most of the time towards his/her research level education. Other service activities within the department, e.g. education and administrative work can be included within the framework of the employment (maximum 20%).

Qualifications: The applicant should have an academic degree, e.g. MSc Pharm, or MSc Molecular Biology, or similar. Experience from experimental research, flow cytometry, immunostaining and PLA are considered as additional qualifications. Documented skills in oral and written English are required.

Scholarship Application Deadline:7 March, 2011,
