1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The available postdoctoral position concerns developing and applying novel genomic approaches to study eukaryotic gene expression at an unprecedented scale combining experimental and computational approaches. The candidate will work in the context of a recently awarded ERC synergy project (EPIC – Unraveling the eukaryotic post-transcriptional regulatory code) in collaboration with the labs of Prof. Kevin Verstrepen (Leuven) and Prof. Julien Gagneur (Munich). EPIC will combine the use of genomic, synthetic biology, machine learning and evolutionary approaches with the aim to understand the complete gene expression regulatory code of S. cerevisiae and other eukaryotes. The recruited candidate will focus on mapping and prediction mRNA boundaries at an unprecedented scale. The candidate will also use the generated information to quantify and predict how mRNA variations lead to divergent mRNA fates.
Application Deadline: 15.Jun.2024
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Our group is focused on studying the role of mitochondria and energy metabolism in neurodegeneration, particularly in Alzheimer´s disease, with important contributions in the field. Our recent projects are focused on alterations of mitochondrial dynamics, such as mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contacts, mitochondrial fission, movement and transfer, and their role for neuron-glia communication. We use both in vitro and ex vivo systems with advanced imaging and bioenergetic assays to address our research questions. We consist in a group of seven people with different academic levels and backgrounds, educationally and culturally, and we have ongoing national and international research collaborations.

6. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Sex hormones do not only regulate reproduction, they also participate in healthy brain aging and in well-being. Still, it is not well-known how sex hormones regulate molecular processes that shape our brain and how they interact with risk and resilience factors that may account for sex differences in healthy brain aging. You will be part of a larger project that studies critical phases in life in which an individual’s susceptibility to depression and mental illness is heightened and strongly influenced by changes in endocrine signalling, namely pre- and early postnatal life, puberty, peripartum, and transition into older age. You will also be part of a project that studies the effect of young adult hormonal interventions in risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Application Deadline: 24.May.2024

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We seek an outstanding and innovative postdoc to join our collaborative team. We are data-rich and need a professional-level data scientist to maximize our analysis capacity and deepen our understanding of important perinatal biology. This individual should be passionately committed to furthering knowledge of perinatal psychiatric biology with the ultimate aim of improving women’s mental health. The successful applicant will join our teams and conduct research on health register/clinical data as well as molecular and ‘omics data generated from biospecimens and in-vitro exposure paradigms. The main aim of the proposed research program is to disentangle the impact of perinatal mental illness and related pharmaceutical treatment on maternal and offspring health outcomes.

9. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The project aims to combine animal models together with a unique cohort of early psoriatic arthritis to investigate new possibilities for therapy and diagnostics based on a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of the disease psoriatic vulgaris (PsV) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Mouse models are imperative to the success of the project, therefore mannan-induced psoriasis model will be used since it mimics the human disease better both genetically and functionally. Clinical samples from a large psoriasis cohort will be assessed to develop better serologic diagnosis for PsV and PsA. The project will also bridge animal research to Biotech companies in order to test experimental molecules and assess their effect on animal models of PsV and PsA.
Application Deadline: 20.May.2024

We are searching for a highly motivated candidate with a documented commitment to research on teachers’ psychosocial work environment and occupational health. It is essential that the applicant has previous experience in assessing teachers’ psychosocial work environment using work stress models. Experience of both quantitative and qualitative data analysis pertaining to psychosocial work factors in schools is a strong merit. Knowledge of advanced statistical methods and statistical programs in either R, STATA, or SPSS is necessary.

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are looking for a motivated postdoc for this 3-year project which has received funding from the Swedish Heart and Lung Foundation for the development of a model (Co-fam) that combines two evidence-based family support programmes, the universal “A Healthy School Start” with the targeted “More and Less”. Today, there is no cohesive family support for children with unhealthy lifestyles and a high BMI, which means that many children and their families do not receive the support they are entitled to according to national guidelines.
