Solna Municipality, Sweden Varbi Recruit Full time

Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading medical universities, committed to pursuing the development of knowledge about life and promoting better health for all. Our vision aligns with this goal, and we strive to create an inclusive environment that fosters growth and collaboration.

Research Focus

The research group led by Professor Anna Nilsson focuses on addressing clinical issues related to infections and immunosuppression in children with cancer. This involves understanding the impact of intensive chemotherapy on the immune system and developing strategies to mitigate its effects. The PhD student will contribute to this effort by designing and conducting experiments aimed at identifying biomarkers predicting an effective antibody response and assessing long-term damage to the B-cell antibody repertoire in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Responsibilities

The PhD student will be responsible for planning, performing, analyzing, and summarizing the results of experiments. This will involve working independently and collaboratively with the research group to achieve project goals. The student will also be expected to stay up to date with the literature, present articles at group meetings, and participate in the department's seminar series.

Requirements

To be eligible for the position, applicants must meet the general eligibility requirement for doctoral education, including having been awarded a second-cycle/advanced/master qualification or satisfying the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits. Specific eligibility requires demonstrating proficiency in English equivalent to the course English B/English 6 at Swedish upper secondary school.

The ideal candidate should possess documented experience with common immunological analysis methods, such as flow cytometry, EliSpot/Fluorospot, and ELISA. Experience with PCR, including RNA extraction, RNA-seq, NGS, and handling large datasets using sequencing software is also valuable. Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential for effective communication with lab colleagues.
