Researcher in molecular bioscience

Postdoctoral Trainee

Research at the Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute (MBW) experimentally addresses fundamental problems in molecular cell biology, integrative biology, and infection and immunobiology. State-of-the-art and advanced methodologies are applied in a professional research environment characterized by its well-established international profile. The institute has 30 research groups with a research staff of 180, of which 65 are PhD students.

The laboratory of Docent Deniz M. Özata Karlsson seeks an ambitious, talented, and creative postdoctoral trainee with strong expertise in computational biology and male germ cell biology. Ozata lab studies to understand how male germ cells develop into sperm at molecular and cellular level. Specifically, Ozata lab studies the evolutionary function of pachytene piRNAs and the regulatory mechanisms underlying timely expression of genes during sperm development.

• Analyses of high-throughput sequencing data; particularly, single-cell multiomics, ATAC-seq, CUT&RUN, PRO-seq and RNA-seq
• Wet lab experimentations; particularly in high-throughput library preparations
• Mouse experimentations.

Researchers are appointed primarily for purposes of research and must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

In the appointment process, special attention will be given to research skills, and if the candidate possesses:
