瑞典隆德血液和输血医学博士后职位

Lund University hosts one of the leading hematology research environments in Europe. The environment involves some 200 researchers and students at the Biomedical Center (BMC). It is located in close proximity to the University Hospital, and is equipped with multiple technical platforms to support cutting-edge research in hematology.

Postdoc scholarship
We are looking for a skillful, ambitious and highly motivated postdoc to the Division of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine, Department of Laboratory Medicine, Lund University. We aim to find out how genetic variation influences blood cell formation and blood cancer risk and the team includes computer scientists, clinicians, and molecular biologists that work closely together. Our output includes clinically implemented discoveries, and publications in top-tier journals like Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, EMBO Molecular Medicine, and Blood.
The aim of this project is to discover of genetic variants influencing human hematopoiesis. For this, we will perform a genome wide association study of blood cell populations across the hematopoietic hierarchy. This position will focus on immunophenotyping of large-scale sample sets by multiparameter flow cytometry. The project is unique due to its scale of sample sets at a population based level and the high-resolution sample characterization. The scholarship should be used for 2 years postdoctoral studies.

Qualifications required
The position requires a Ph.D. degree within a relevant subject and a solid knowledge in hematology and immunology. Solid experience in multiparameter flow cytometry is required. Experience with experimental molecular genetics, functional validation of genetic variants, working with primary human cells, GWAS and/or understanding of bioinformatics is appreciated. Personal suitability, excellent interpersonal skills, and communication skills are a prerequisite. Applicants need to fulfill the formal requirements for a postdoc scholarship at Lund University. The applicant should not have been employed by Lund University within the last two years in order to be able to receive a scholarship. Ph.D. degree should not be more than three years old at the last day of applying.
