Job Description:
The Department of Clinical Neuroscience (CNS) conducts research and education in the field of neuroscience from the molecular level to the society level. The clinical research and education is conducted in collaboration with other research groups from the Karolinska Institutet, with other universities as well as the Stockholm County Council.
Please visit our website for more information: http://ki.se/en/cns
General background
This project is supported by a larger grant from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) which links competences in imaging with a deep understanding of the clinical needs for new diagnostics and treatment for neuropathological conditions, Alzheimer´s disease, Parkinson´s disease and neurotrauma. The focus is identifying mechanisms and a new generation of probes for diagnosis and therapy. The project is led by professor Per Svenningsson in collaboration with professors Martin Ingvar, Mikael Svensson and Lars Terenius. This postdoc position is one (1) of three (3) positions that we are now recruiting to the project.
Duties
The project explores the regenerative potential of neural precursor cells transplanted to the injured spinal cord and brainstem in animal models. The group continuously develop and adopt new methods, recently light-sheet microscopy and tissue clearing. As a group member you will take active part in developing the technical platform for optogenetics experiments. The applicant will design and implement computational analyses of a variety of bioinformatics data types, including raw data from genetic/protein analyses and large image data sets acquired from MRI and microscopy. The work will be conducted at the Department of Neurosurgery at Karolinska University Hospital as part of a dynamic and translational research team consisting of neurosurgeons, neurologists and neurobiologists. A successful applicant is expected to be committed, highly motivated and able work both independently as well as in a team-based environment throughout the project. As a post-doc in our group you are expected to develop your ideas and design projects of your own.
Entry requirements
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in a Technical or Biological field.
The successful applicant is proficient in environments such as Unix, C/C++ or equivalent, with interest in developing hardware/software interfaces for research applications. Proficiency in spoken and written English as well as scientific communication skills are required. A proven record of relevant publications in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals is also a requirement. Background in neurobiology/neuroimaging is an advantage.
A person is eligible for a position as postdoctoral research fellow if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc.
Application process
An employment application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:
1.A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work
2.A complete list of publications
3.A summary of current work (no more than one page)
4.Verifications for crediting of illness, military service, work for labour unions or student organisations, parental leave or similar circumstances
5.Verification from the thesis defence committee or the equivalent (only if the thesis defence is scheduled within three months after the application deadline)
The application is to be submitted on the MyNetwork recruitment system….
