Postdoctoral Researcher in Nanotoxicology – Scholarships

Engineered nanomaterials maintain nice promise in biomedical and different functions. Nonetheless, the protection of nanomaterials ought to be rigorously evaluated. The publish doc will take part in nanosafety analysis within the nationwide nanosafety undertaking MISTRA Environmental Nanosafety.

Your mission

The profitable applicant will work in a extremely worldwide setting on the Institute of Environmental Medication, Karolinska Institutet. The undertaking is concentrated on the organic impression of nanomaterials utilizing superior in vitro fashions with emphasis on the liver and the lungs. The undertaking additionally covers the investigation of nanomaterials by utilizing zebrafish larvae as a mannequin. The undertaking is embedded within the MISTRA Environmental Nanosafety program, and the publish doc will take part in joint actions in this system together with consortium conferences. The place is short-term for 12 months.

Your profile

Certified to be employed as a publish doc is one who has obtained a doctorate or has equal scientific competence in cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, or toxicology. Candidates who haven’t accomplished a doctorate on the finish of the appliance interval can also apply, offered that every one necessities for a accomplished diploma are met earlier than the (supposed) date of employment (documentation required). An individual is eligible for a postdoc place if she or he has obtained a PhD not more than seven years earlier than the final date of employment as postdoc.

Glorious communication abilities (in English) and a capability to work together with different members of the laboratory, and with different consortium companions, are important qualities. Expertise with the next laboratory strategies is required: cell tradition strategies together with each typical 2D and 3D cell spheroid fashions, confocal microscopy, movement cytometry, and different commonplace cell biology strategies, in addition to frequent strategies for physicochemical characterization of nanomaterials. Earlier expertise of working with zebrafish is taken into account advantageous.

What do we provide?

Karolinska Institutet is without doubt one of the world’s main medical universities. Our imaginative and prescient is to pursue the event of data about life and to advertise higher well being for all. At Karolinska Institutet, we conduct modern medical analysis and supply the most important vary of biomedical schooling in Sweden. The Institute of Environmental Medication (IMM) is a division at Karolinska Institutet and an interdisciplinary analysis establishment within the discipline of environmental drugs. At IMM, cutting-edge analysis is carried out within the areas of environmental and occupational drugs, toxicology, physiology, epidemiology, and biostatistics with the purpose to make clear how environmental and life-style elements have an effect on our well being.

Location: The Institute of Environmental Medication, Solna
