Mitochondrial Dysfunction Researcher

Job Description:
Mission Statement: To investigate how mitochondrial dysfunction drives neurodegenerative disorders, specifically Parkinson's disease. We aim to understand the role of mitochondrial fitness in maintaining dopamine neurons using biochemical and molecular analyses.

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in molecular biology or genetics. Experience in mitochondrial biology, neuroscience, and mouse genetics is advantageous. Candidates with a background in bioinformatics are also welcome. Good documentation skills and proficiency in English are required. The successful candidate should be able to work in a team and contribute to our research goals.

The research environment at Karolinska Institutet offers an opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team and access cutting-edge technologies. Our research focuses on understanding the regulation of mitochondrial function and its role in disease and aging. We employ a range of experimental models, genetic and pharmacological manipulations, and omics technologies to investigate disease pathophysiology and develop novel treatments.

We offer an outstanding research environment and close interaction between basic and clinical science at the Centre for Inherited Metabolic Diseases (CMMS) at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. Excellent access to advanced resources in molecular and cell biology is available at the department and national core facilities at the Science for Life Laboratory.

Benefits:

• An inspiring and creative work environment
• Opportunities for professional growth and development
• A competitive salary and benefits package
