Postdoctoral researcher

Project description and working tasks The proposed projects target serine and cysteine proteases with small organic molecules, with the aim to modulate the function of the enzymes for relevant medical applications, including infectious diseases and toxifications. The postdoctoral research will include organic synthesis and biochemical and biophysical...

Project description and work tasks The project, which will analyse the contemporary commemoration and contestation of the Holocaust on social media during its anniversaries in English, Swedish and German linguistic settings, is led by Associate Professor Samuel Merrill. The project will also study the role that social media platforms play in these matters...

Project description and working tasks The species that compose the human gut microbiome are poorly characterized at their molecular level, despite their important roles to keep a healthy state. The presence of pathogenic species or imbalances in the composition of commensal species are associated with disease. The mechanisms by which these species interact...

We are looking for someone who has or will soon defend their thesis, with previous education in statistics, data processing and/or bioinformatics, to contribute to research on brain diseases. You will work relatively independently as a postdoc, in a group conducting research on Parkinson's disease and other alpha-synucleinopathies, such as multiple system...

Project description and working tasks Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved self-eating process mainly purposed to eliminate or recycle dysfunctional cellular organelles or unused proteins. Autophagy plays an important role in development and ageing and has been associated with diverse human diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and pathogen...

Project description The Ultrafast Nanoscience Group () research focus is the study of both the fundamental and applied aspects of light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. In more detail, we study light-driven charge, spin and lattice dynamics and strong optical nonlinearities in nano- and meta-materials for opto-electronics and information processing,...

Join our Team!Position: Postdoctoral Research FellowDuration: Two years, Full-timeFocus: Brain mechanisms supporting cognitive function in older adultsWe are seeking a postdoctoral research fellow to join the Department of Medical and Translational Biology. In this role, you will be part of a project that delves into the brain mechanisms responsible for...

Project description Single bacterial genomics and transcriptomics holds a great promise of improving our understanding of the microbiology world, discovering new enzymatic activities, or identifying the antibiotic resistance amongst others. Bacterial populations exhibit significant heterogeneity, allowing distinct cell subgroups to thrive in diverse...

Project description Interventions to promote lifelong learning show promising results but are hampered by large individual differences in response. It is evident that we need to rethink the premises of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to better predict who will benefit from which intervention. As a first step in this process we sought to utilize existing...

The Department of Medical and Translational Biology is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow for two years full time for a project focusing on brain mechanisms underlying maintained cognitive function at higher ages. The research is performed in an international context and unique data from the Betula cohort will be gathered and analyzed.

Project description and working tasks Interactions between malaria parasites and mosquitoes determine the success of malaria transmission and are coming in focus as targets for interventions. The biology of Plasmodium mosquito stages remains poorly understood, but recent breakthroughs in CRISPR screening technologies, single cell transcriptomics, imaging...
