Who can apply

• CHECK THE EXPECTED DEGREE BEFORE APPLYING: the advert expects a Swedish Biomedical Laboratory Science degree (Biomedicinsk analytikerexamen, BMA) plus a Master's degree of at least 60 advanced credits in a relevant field such as biomedical laboratory science, biomedicine, molecular biology, bioinformatics, medicine, pharmacy or medical science. The formal admission requirement is a Master's level degree or at least 240 credits of which 60 are advanced, or essentially corresponding knowledge gained another way. Experience is expected with mammalian cell culture, molecular and cellular biology techniques, flow cytometry, microscopy and protein analysis; bioinformatics, computational biology or large-scale dataset analysis is a strong advantage, and CRISPR work or statistical programming in R or Python is desirable but not required. Good written and spoken English is required; no Swedish is asked for. The appointee is expected to teach and supervise up to 20 per cent of full time. No citizenship restriction is stated, but a non-EU appointee will need a Swedish residence permit for doctoral studies before starting.
