Project Overview
At Umeå University, we are seeking a talented Postdoctoral Researcher to contribute to our ongoing research in innate immunity and protein research. In this role, you will be part of an interdisciplinary team focused on identifying microproteins in innate immune cells involved in immune processes.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.
Eligibility and Requirements
To be eligible for this position, you must have a doctoral degree in a relevant field, with a strong background in bioinformatics, proteomics, or a related field. Experience in sample preparation, bioinformatic analysis, and mass spectrometry is highly desirable.
Additional Requirements
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Innate Immunity
4 weeks ago
Umeå, Västerbotten, Sweden Umeå University Full timeProject OverviewInnate immune cells are constantly sensing their environment and responding to pathogen invasion. This process involves changes in their transcriptional and proteomic landscapes. Microproteins, small proteins encoded by short Open Reading Frames, play regulatory roles in diverse cellular pathways. Our project aims to identify microproteins in...
