About this position

Postdoctoral position in vascular complement in aging at Lund University, Department of Experimental Medical Science, within the Cellular Biomechanics group and Vascular Physiology environment.

The project focuses on the ageing arterial wall, the role of the complement system in age-related vascular pathology, and the generation of transgenic mouse models to study vascular function and disease. The work combines experimental physiology, molecular and cellular biology, histology, animal models, and collaboration with partners at the University of Copenhagen and Gothenburg University.

Research themes include vascular physiology, aging, complement biology, arterial transcriptome remodeling, endothelial and smooth muscle Cre lines, conditional knockout mice, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, and mechanoregulated transcription in the vascular wall.

This is a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral appointment for 2 years, with possible extension up to 3 years. The post is supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation as part of a metabolic ageing collaborative project and includes a yearly travel allowance, operating expenses, and a bench fee.

Eligibility highlights: doctoral degree in Physiology, Pharmacology, Molecular Biology, or Medicine; strong research ability; teaching ability; independent and collaborative working style; and good written and spoken English. Preferred experience includes cell culture, gene/protein expression, animal work, arterial studies, complement/inflammation, and myography.

Apply via Lund University’s recruitment system by 2026-08-25. Submit a motivation letter, degree certificate or proof of thesis submission, CV, references, and publication list.
