Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
Do you want to contribute to top-quality medical research and build a strong foundation for a future academic career? The Romeo research group(Human Translational Genetics Group) at Karolinska Institutet is recruiting 2 motivated and dedicated postdoctoral researchers to join exciting projects aimed at uncovering the molecular and cellular mechanisms driving fibrosis and metabolic disease.
The Romeo group works at the intersection of genetics, metabolism, and clinical medicine. We combine state-of-the-art experimental models with patient-oriented translational research and strong collaborations across KI, Swedish healthcare, and leading international research environments. We offer a stimulating workplace with excellent opportunities for collaboration, high scientific ambition, and strong potential for a bright academic future.
Your mission
As a postdoctoral researcher in the Romeo group, you will work with advanced 3D in vitro models of fibrosis and metabolic disease, using multiple primary and immortalized human cell lines. Your research will focus on identifying molecular mechanisms and novel therapeutic targets relevant to metabolic disease and fibrosis.
Key responsibilities include
You are expected to plan and perform experiments independently, analyse and interpret data, write scientific manuscripts, present results, and actively contribute to a collaborative and intellectually stimulating research environment.
Entry requirements
Postdoctoral scholarships may be established for foreign researchers who pursue their merit in Sweden. A foreign researcher is a person living in another country who comes to Sweden with the intention of only staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four-year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate, or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post-doctoral education.
Required qualifications
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with:
We place great emphasis on personal suitability, scientific curiosity, and motivation.
Additional merits
Experience in one or more of the following areas will be considered a strong advantage:
What do we offer?
A creative and inspiring environment with wide-ranging expertise and interests. Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading medical universities. Here, we conduct innovative medical research and provide the largest range of biomedical education in Sweden. At KI, you get to meet researchers working with a wide range of specialisms and methods, giving you ample opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the various scientific fields within medicine and health. It is the crossover collaborations, which have pushed KI to where it is today, at the forefront of global research. Several of the people you meet in healthcare are educated at KI. A close relationship with the health care providers is important for creating groundbreaking top quality education and research. Students and employees have free access to our modern gym facilities with trained staff on site.
