Karolinska Institutet is one of the world´s leading medical universities. Its mission is to contribute to the improvement of human health through research and education. Karolinska Institutet accounts for over 40 per cent of the medical academic research conducted in Sweden and offers the country´s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences. Since 1901 the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has selected the Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine. The Department of Laboratory Medicine consists of 9 divisions and is active in many areas of Laboratory Medicine. The department is involved in advanced basic scientific, clinical and epidemiological research. The department is one of the largest departments of education at Karolinska Institutet. Division The Division of Clinical Immunology conducts research on several aspects of human immunology with a strong focus on developmental immunology, immunotherapy and pathologies associated with the immune system. [More]

The research focuses on CNS pathologies such as obesity, anorexia, craving, depression and anxiety from both molecular and clinical perspective. We aim to understand broad range of CNS pathologies using molecular biology, behavioural and pharmacological methods. We are interested in candidates with strong background in at least one of the following fields; human genetics/epigenetics, human clinical studies, drosophilia genetics, neuroanatomy or bioinformatics. Our interest is restricted because of funding reasons to post doctoral fellows with 1) PhD from Europe, America or Japan, 2) PhD degree within three years, 3) a record of published papers in highly rated international journals (at least three first name papers). [More]

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy). We are seeking a Bioinformatician to join the Zeller team in the area of metagenomics and human multi-omics data analysis, integration and interpretation. You will develop new analytical methods, implement robust software and integrate tools into workflows and service portals. The position is embedded in the context of the German National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Network (de.NBI), of which the Heidelberg Human Bioinformatics (HD-HuB) node is committed to providing human-centered bioinformatics tools and services. Your experience acquired while working with these tools will be the basis for delivering insightful, high-quality data analyses, showcasing the potential of these tools in a range of different research projects. For this you will have the opportunity to work closely with other scientists fromGeorg Zeller's, Peer Bork's, Wolfgang Huber's, Jan Korbel's and / or Toby Gibson’s groups. Additionally, you will interact with, and ideally participate in, internal bioinformatics community initiatives at EMBL (e.g. the Bio-IT project) and explore synergies with external de.NBI / HD-HuB support.  [More]
