Associate Researcher in Molecular Hematology - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of the workplace
The Developmental Hematopoiesis research team at the Department of Laboratory Medicine within the Faculty of Medicine currently conducts research in Molecular Hematology, with a specific focus on hematopoietic stem cell biology and leukemogenesis.
The research team works with a major emphasis on age-associated aspects of both normal and malignant (leukemic) hematopoiesis. You can read more on our research on our website. The research team is led by Professor David Bryder and includes a further 4-7 members at many different career stages (Masters students, PhD students, post-doctoral fellows). We are now looking for a driven and experienced researcher in cell and/or molecular biology to contribute expertise to our projects. As a workplace, we safeguard a positive work environment with respect and consideration in our relations with one another.

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 have a flexitime agreement that creates good conditions for work/life balance. Read more on the University’s website about being a Lund University employee, Work at Lund University

Work duties and areas of responsibility
The research assignment consists in you conducting experimental work to study hematopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell function using mouse models, under the leadership of the project manager. The analyses include the use of necessary methodology, including but not restricted to advanced cell culture systems of primary cells, work with viral vectors and genome-editing techniques, flow cytometric analysis and cell sorting and various gene expression analysis platforms. The work duties also comprise project planning (including management of necessary reagents to be used in the project), reporting (both orally and written for scientific journals and grant proposals), attendance at seminars and supervision of students.

Qualifications
The requirements for the position are:

•  A doctoral degree in a relevant scientific discipline (medicine, biology or equivalent)  
• Experience of research on hematopoiesis using mouse models
• Experience from cell culture work and gene manipulation of primary hematopoietic cells
• An ability to conduct independent research at an advanced/international level
• Very good knowledge of English
• Good analytical ability, drive and a good ability to collaborate

Additional qualifications for the position are:

• Experience of molecular biology and associated analytics, and in particular analysis of high-throughput sequencing based data
•  Previous experience from research in similar projects

Research expertise is the foremost criterion for employment. The evaluation of applicants will take account of their research profile, experience and knowledge.

Further information
The employment is for a fixed term of one year at fulltime, to start 2022-09-01 or according to agreement
