Postdoctoral fellow at the division of infection medicine - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of the workplace
The research group "Integrative Medicine Proteomics" (IMP) develops proteomics techniques to introduce precision medicine strategies in sepsis and to study how circulating antibodies evolve after an infection or after vaccination. The research group works closely with BioMS, a national research infrastructure in biological mass spectrometry, and has access to several modern mass spectrometers such as Oribitraps and TiMS-TOFs. IMP is an interdisciplinary research group with senior researchers, postdocs and doctoral students with expertise in clinical medicine, animal models, cell biology, proteomics and bioinformatics. The research group is located at the Biomedical Center near the Region Skåne University hospital and has access to clinical samples, animal model facilitates and a range of in vitro and in vivo methods.  

What we offer
Lund University is a public authority, which means that you will have special benefits, generous annual leave and an advantageous occupational pension. We also work with creating good conditions for work/life balance.

Work duties and areas of responsibility
An employment as a postdoctoral fellow is a time-limited merit employment that should give the employee an early opportunity to develop their independence as a researcher and create conditions for further merit.

The successful applicant will work in an interdisciplinary research team to advance a recently establish proteogenomics workflow to characterize antibody responses after infection and vaccination. Promising antibodies will be recombinantly produced and structurally and biochemically characterized using structural mass spectrometry methods developed by IMP (Hauri et al Nature communications 2019 and Happonen et al Nature Communications 2019).

Qualification and requirements 
Appointment to a post-doctoral position requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the last date for applications. Under special circumstances, the doctoral degree can have been completed earlier.

Other assessments will be done according to the following requirements for the position: 
- PhD in proteomics, mass-spectrometry, systems biology or equivalent-
- Hands-on experience in mass spectrometry analysis, including sample preparation, data acquisition and data analysis.
- Previous experience in bioinformatics coupled to mass spectrometry data.
- Good communicative qualities.
- That you are careful and ambitious.
- That you can work independently.

Additional requirements:
- Previous experience with working with genomics analysis including sample preparation, data acquisition and data analysis.
- Experience in multi-dimensional chromatography

Terms of employment
