Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher (scholarship) with an interest in melanoma biology and treatment. You should hold great prior knowledge in tumor biology, and it is preferred that you already are familiar with tumor biomarkers in liquid biopsies including extracellular vesicle (EV) associated biomarkers. When joining us you will work in a multidisciplinary research group, who conducts clinical and translational melanoma research. The candidate should be capable of acquiring knowledge independently to develop ongoing projects.

Division

The research in Hildur Helgadottir´s research group is focused on malignant melanoma. One of the main objectives of the research is to identify biomarkers for therapy efficacy in sequential blood samples from patients with advanced melanoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors alone or in combination with radiotherapy, that is being assessed in an ongoing clinical trial, the PROMMEL study

Duties

You will together with the group set up a project on EV associated biomarkers to decipher their predictive capacity in melanoma patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors and potential impact from radiotherapy. You will design and carry out proteomic profiling with front-line technologies, in an independent way, on EVs from sequentially collected clinical liquid biopsies (mainly plasma) from melanoma patients and relate to clinical outcome following treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. You will also carry out proteomic profiling of plasma using oncology-immunology panels and screen for circulating ctDNA to do comparative analysis with the findings in EVs. You will be responsible for the execution of the planned project according to the set goals.

Entry requirements

Scholarships for postdoctoral qualification can be established for foreign researchers who place their qualifications in Sweden. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.

The head of the department determines whether their previous training and scholarly qualifications correspond to a Swedish doctorate or higher.

Location: Bioclinicum, Karolinska University Hospital

Department of Oncology-Pathology

Type of scholarship

Full-time contract with Scholarship for a first twelve-month period with possible prolongation.
The amount is tax free and it is set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six months basis.

Application process

An application must contain the following documents in English or Swedish:

A complete curriculum vitae, including date of the thesis defence, title of the thesis, previous academic positions, academic title, current position, academic distinctions, and committee work A complete list of publications A summary of current work (no more than one page)

The application is to be submitted on the Varbi recruitment system latest 9th February.
