About this position

This postdoctoral position at Umeå University is based in the Department of Clinical Microbiology and is part of a research environment focused on host-microbe interactions, microbial disease mechanisms, and immune responses. The project is led by Annasara Lenman and addresses early mechanisms in respiratory and enteric virus infections, with a particular interest in how virus-host interactions shape disease severity and may reveal new treatment strategies.

The successful postdoc will work on a translational project examining several respiratory viruses, including hantavirus, coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza. The work uses primary lung cell models for infection experiments and complements these in vitro studies with analyses of patient samples. The research combines standard cell and virology techniques with transcriptomics and quantitative proteomics to identify mechanisms and factors that influence viral pathogenesis and susceptibility.

The position offers the opportunity to carry out independent experimental planning, execution, and evaluation while collaborating with researchers in the department and clinicians at the hospital. The candidate will also present findings within the university and at national and international conferences, and contribute to high-quality scientific publications. The department hosts around 30 active research groups with diverse profiles, providing a broad and active research setting for infection biology and translational virology.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent foreign degree in virology, molecular biology, cell biology, or a closely related field by the time the appointment decision is made. The postdoctoral agreement primarily targets candidates who completed their degree within the last three years, although special reasons may allow later eligibility. Applicants must not previously have been employed as a postdoc under the same agreement for more than one year in the same or a related subject area at the same employer. Very good spoken and written English is required. Candidates should have experience isolating primary cells from patient material and differentiating them into tissue-like cell cultures, experience with virus-based methods, and experience working in biosafety level 3 laboratories. Strong independence, documentation and analysis skills, and good collaboration abilities are expected. Merits include expertise in confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, RT-qPCR, CRISPR/Cas9, other cell and molecular biology techniques, high-quality publications, and bioinformatics experience.

How to apply

Prepare a complete application in English or Swedish including a cover letter, CV with publication list, a certified copy of your PhD certificate, and any other supporting documents. Submit the application through the university's electronic recruitment system via the application link. References should be provided if requested at interview stage.
