Postdoc in Affinity Proteomics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH) is one of the five schools of KTH and a strong constellation for research and education in the broader areas of health, environment, energy and materials. The School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health conducts research and education in areas that cover several global challenges. Among them are the need of sustainable energy, health and aging population, climate change, sustainable production and working life, food production and clean water.

Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab, http://www.scilifelab.se/) is a national center for large-scale life science research with an advanced technological infrastructure. At SciLifeLab, multidisciplinary research is carried out based on DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, proteomics, bioinformatics, biostatistics and system biology. The goal is to enable Swedish researchers to analyze genes, transcripts and proteins in different organisms in order to map molecular mechanisms related to health and the environment. Examples of thematic research areas that are currently being processed within SciLifeLab are clinical genomics/proteomics, cancer genome and the genomics of complex diseases as well as ecological and environmental genomics.

Job description

The general aim in the group is to carry out global and large-scale analysis of autoantibody repertoires within health and disease and thereby creating an increased understanding of autoimmune diseases. The goal of the position is to create the conditions for and conduct a global analysis of a large amount of previously generated large-scale data from autoantibody profiling under the heading "Autoantibody repertoires in health and disease explored through meta-analysis"

The position include participation in the research group's work in the Division of Affinity Proteomics at the Department of Protein Science, KTH Solna campus and SciLifeLab. This includes the development of research networks, further development of their own scientific skills and independence, and active participation in education at all levels.
