Researchers in mitochondrial genetics and biochemistry (Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Division of Molecular Metabolism)

Researchers in mitochondrial genetics and biochemistry Karolinska Institutet, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics, Division of Molecular Metabolism Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biofysics, Department of Molecular Metabolism The Department of Molecular Metabolism is part of the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics and has its premises at Biomedicum, Karolinska Institutet, Solna campus. At the Department of Molecular Metabolism, research is conducted on mitochondrial functions in a stimulating research environment. Mitochondria constitutes an important part of the cell's machinery and impaired mitochondrial function is involved in multiple hereditary diseases, normal aging and age-related diseases. At the molecular metabolism department, research is conducted on how mitochondrial function is regulated and what happens when mitochondria fail to function properly. This is studied in various model systems such as patient cells, banana fly and mouse models. The Department of Molecular Metabolism consists of about 25 researchers, post docs and doctoral students who work in an international and stimulating work environment. Work The researcher in mitochondrial genetics and biochemistry is expected to conduct and develop research on mitochondrial function in health and disease. Specifically, the department wants to strengthen its activities in mitochondrial gene expression focusing on developing new animal models, as well as investigating the role of the mitochondrial network in a cellular environment. The successful candidate will work closely with doctors to validate and diagnose patients with mitochondrial disease. The researcher is expected to have as well as initiate national and international collaborations in the subject area. The work tasks also include an overall responsibility for the section's laboratory activities, as well as actively managing doctoral students, post docs and conducting significant education, within the biomedical field of students at the undergraduate level in various forms. Qualifications The applicant should have a great practical experience of molecular biological and biochemical analyzes of mitochondria. Experience in studies regarding mitochondrial gene expression regulation and the conversion of mitochondrial RNA are meritory. Practical experience of in vivo experimental methods with animal models is a requirement; as well as previous experience of leading a research team. Applicants should have good cooperative skills, excellent communication skills, and be fluent in speeches in Swedish and English, as well as having multi-year experience in doctoral supervision and undergraduate education. International experience and documented leadership training are credible. Several years of qualified work as researchers and PI is a requirement, as well as experience of attracting larger research grants and other external funding. Qualifying to be employed as a researcher is the one who has obtained a doctorate or has equivalent scientific competence, as well as documented research work after a dissertation corresponding to qualification as a research assistant. Education in a related medical specialty is meritorious. Assessment criteria When assessing the applicants, we attach particular importance to scientific skill. Application procedure The application must consist of the following documents written in English: Curriculum vitae, qualifications and personal letter. The application must be made through the Varbi recruitment system. In the case of permanent employment, Karolinska Institutet applies 6 months of probation. Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading medical universities with the vision to make a decisive contribution to improving human health. In Sweden, Karolinska Institutet stands for the single largest proportion of medical academic research and has the widest range of medical education. Every year, the Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute nominates recipients of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. According to the National Archives, filing applications are filed for two years after the appointment decision has been issued.
