Postdoctoral Researcher in Immune Cell Microproteomics

4 weeks ago


Umeå, Västerbotten, Sweden Umeå University Full time
About the Position

This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral researcher position for 2 years at Umeå University. The appointment aims to identify microproteins in innate immune cells involved in immune processes by combining bioinformatic, ribosome profiling, and proteomic approaches.

Job Description

The responsibilities associated with this position include:

  • Bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic datasets and protein sequences from publicly available datasets and own datasets.
  • Generation of ribosome profiling datasets for resting and activated innate immune cells to identify open reading frames with coding potential.
  • Identification of the newly identified open reading frames at the protein level using proteomic approaches.
Required Skills and Qualifications

To be eligible for this position, you should have experience in at least one of the following techniques:

  • Sample preparation and/or bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic data (preferably ribosome profiling)
  • Preparation and analysis of mass spectrometry samples.

Experience working with primary immune cells and tissue culture is desirable.

Benefits

This appointment offers a career-development position for junior researchers, primarily interested in applicants who completed their doctoral degree no more than three years before the application deadline. An interest in innate immunity or immunology and willingness to work and develop in an interdisciplinary environment are also desired.

Compensation

The estimated salary for this position is around 55000-65000 SEK per month, depending on qualifications and location.
