Job Description:

Postdoctoral Researcher in Translational Melanoma Research (scholarship)

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 are already familiar with tumor biomarkers in liquid biopsies including extracellular vesicle (EV) associated biomarkers. When joining us, you will work in a multidisciplinary research group that 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 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, as assessed in an ongoing clinical trial, the PROMMEL study.

Duties

You will work with the group to set up a project on EV associated biomarkers to decipher their predictive capacity in melanoma patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors and the potential impact from radiotherapy. You will design and carry out proteomic profiling using front-line technologies, independently, on EVs from sequentially collected clinical liquid biopsies (mainly plasma) from melanoma patients and relate findings to clinical outcomes following treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. You will also conduct proteomic profiling of plasma using oncology-immunology panels and screen for circulating ctDNA to perform comparative analysis with the findings in EVs. You will be responsible for executing 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 equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate by 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 postdoctoral 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 set for twelve months at a time, paid out on a six-month basis.

Application Process

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

  1. 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
  2. A complete list of publications
  3. A summary of current work (no more than one page)

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