Postdoctoral Positions in Bioinformatics & Microscopy, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden (2016)

Our lab (hogberglab.net) at the Karolinska Institute (ki.se) in Stockholm is working in the field of bioengineering. We use DNA nanotechnology to develop applications and methods that employ this technology for biological and medical research. As an example, we have recently published a method where DNA origami is used to probe receptor activation based on nanoscale separation between ligand in a breast cancer cell-line (Nature Methods 11, p. 841 (2014)). This technique, together with our newly developed pipeline for DNA structure design allowing DNA origami in physiological buffers, (Nature 523, p. 441 (2015)) is opening up the door to look at a number of biological problems that are very difficult to address with traditional methods.

Scholarships for post-doctoral studies may be granted to persons from other countries who intend to remain in Sweden only for the duration of their education or part of their education.

A scholarship holder is not considered as an employee and therefore do not have the same rights and obligations as employees. Educational scholarships are tax-exempt.
Karolinska Institutet is one of the world´s leading medical universities. Its mission is to contribute to the improvement of human health through research and education. Karolinska Institutet accounts for over 40 per cent of the medical academic research conducted in Sweden and offers the country´s broadest range of education in medicine and health sciences. Since 1901 the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has selected the Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine.

Pursuant to the regulations of the Swedish National Archives, applications are kept on file for two years after the appointment has gained legal force. The regulations do not apply to attachments that have been printed or otherwise published.
