瑞典卡罗琳斯卡医学院分子生物学博士后职位

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher to Karolinska Institutet, department of Biosciences and Nutrition.
Area of responsibilities/description of work
The position is available immediately in the laboratory of Professor Jussi Taipale
(http://ki.se/bionut/taipale). The laboratory is located in the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition at Karolinska Institutet (KI).The group includes both experimental biologists and computer scientists, and is currently composed of eleven postdoctoral fellows, two graduate students and three technicians.

The laboratory focuses on the study of transcriptional control of cell growth, using functional genomics and systems biology, and mouse genetic models. Current lines of work include high-throughput determination of binding sites and binding specificities of human transcription factors, and using this information to identify regulatory elements that control cell growth during normal development or in cancer. Identified elements are validated using cultured cells and mouse genetic models (see for example Hallikas et al., Cell 124:47-59, 2006; Bjorklund et al., Nature 439:1009-1013, 2006; Varjosalo et al., Cell 33:537-548, 2008; Kivioja et al., Nature Methods 9:72-74, 2012; Sur et al., Science 338:1360-1363, 2012; Jolma et al., Cell 152:327-339, 2013; Yan et al., Cell 154:801-816, 2013; Huang et al., Nature Genetics 46:126-135, 2014; Nitta et al., Elife 4:e04837, 2015).
The group is located immediately adjacent to the Karolinska High Throughput Center, which hosts state-of-the-art massively parallel sequencers, liquid handling instrumentation and an automated laboratory that can be applied to a wide variety of high-throughput genome-wide screens using drug-like small molecules and/or gene over- and under-expression.

The position is a Project employment.

Qualifications
To qualify the applicant must hold a doctoral degree or a foreign qualification deemed equivalent to a doctorate in Systems Biology, Molecular Biology, Biological engineering, Medicine or similar. Applicants must be able to work independently and have good communication skills in English. Applicants interested in any of the above research areas and/or applicants interested in developing a novel research direction will be considered.

Entry requirements
A person is eligible for a position as Postdoctoral Researcher if he or she has obtained a PhD no more than seven years before the last date of employment as postdoc. We especially encourage applications from those who expect to complete their PhD within one year from current date and those who have completed their PhD less than 12 months ago.

Application process
An employment application should be a maximum of seven A4 pages in total, and must contain the following documents in English:
- One page cover letter highlighting your 2 most important first-author publications in major international scientific journals
- Two page CV including a list of major publications (reference only, no abstracts or full papers)
- Two letters of recommendation, 1-2 pages each
