About this position

This postdoctoral position at Linköping University is part of a research environment focused on the physiology and pharmacology of ion channels in human heart, nervous system, and muscle. The project aims to understand the body’s own regulation of voltage-gated ion channels and electrical excitability, and how channel function is altered by disease-associated mutations and drug molecules.

The research will center on voltage-gated potassium channels and their post-translational modifications, with a particular interest in how phosphorylation influences channel function and pharmacology. The work is designed to support the development of new selective molecular strategies that can help restore normal ion-channel function.

Experimentally, the postdoc will use molecular biology and electrophysiological methods in cell systems, including Xenopus laevis oocytes and mammalian cells. The role involves manipulating signaling pathways and measuring ion-channel activity and responses to endogenous and pharmacological compounds. Both normal channels and channels carrying disease-associated mutations will be studied.

The position is embedded in the BKV and CNB environments and in the research group linked to sarbo42. The group collaborates closely with team members and partners using molecular dynamics and structural biology, and it connects with local technical platforms in electrophysiology. The role is research-intensive, with teaching possible to a limited extent.

The appointment is time-limited, full-time, and based on external foundation funding that also supports a possible research stay abroad and later-stage project development.

Funding details

Funded by the Högbom-Cocozza Research Foundation; salary of 43,000 SEK per month; possible 6–12 month overseas stay funded by the foundation; possible internal operating grant of about 500,000 SEK for the third year.

What's required

A PhD in medical science or a related field is required, and the degree must be completed no more than three years before the application deadline unless special circumstances apply. The doctorate must be from another university than Linköping University. Strong theoretical and practical knowledge of electrophysiology in cell systems is required, including hands-on expertise in electrophysiological techniques for studying ion channels in mammalian cells and/or Xenopus oocytes. Meritorious qualifications include broad theoretical and practical experience in ion channel physiology and ion channel pharmacology of voltage-gated ion channels, as well as experience with experimental work on post-translational modifications. Good English skills in speaking and writing are required. The candidate should be structured, independent, quality-conscious, and able to collaborate well.
