Assistant Researcher - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scienctist to join the epIgG Project, a large cross-disciplinary collaboration of five labs from Sweden and Switzerland that is funded by the Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation. The overall epIgG Project aims to explain the absolute link between IgG antibody epitope and their function at the protein-protein interface of host-bacteria interactions.

Description of project and work
This Project will be conducted in the research Group of Associate professor Pontus Nordenfelt (nordlab.med.lu.se). Our Group is interested in cell biology, microbiology and immunology, with particular emphasis on quantifying molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, but also including the cell biology of cell migration, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and signaling.

The main duties involved in the work is to conduct research and provide immunological expertize to the epIgG group. This includes establishing workflows for producing human monoclonal antibodies towards bacterial surface proteins, localization of antibody binding sites, and functional characterization of the antibodies. The researcher should be able to work independently, and develop alternate strategies if necessary. The researcher is expected to be willing to share the knowledge with other Group members and be a good team player. The position will likely include some supervision of undergraduate degree Projects and PhD students.

Qualifications
PhD degree in immunology.

• RT-PCR and nested PCR.
• Antibody production in eukaryotic cells.
• Sorting flow cytometry.
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Strong communication skills.
• Broad scientific interest.
