About this position
Karolinska Institutet is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Chemicals and Female Fertility research group in Solna, Sweden. The group investigates human ovarian biology, the effects of environmental chemicals on female reproductive health, and the development of advanced in vitro models.
The postdoctoral researcher will lead the development and optimization of cell isolation and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) protocols for human ovarian tissue. The work will involve identifying and validating cell-type-specific markers, designing multicolor FACS panels, and establishing robust approaches for isolating viable and well-characterized cell populations from rare human tissue samples.
Isolated cells will support downstream molecular and functional analyses as well as cell culture applications. The researcher will develop methods to evaluate cell purity, viability, and functionality, while also analyzing experimental data and documenting and communicating results. The role includes participation in human tissue sample collection and processing, laboratory maintenance and coordination, and shared research-group, departmental, and university responsibilities.
The research environment is multidisciplinary and provides access to state-of-the-art technologies and broad expertise across medical and health research. The group is led by Professor Pauliina Damdimopoulou at Karolinska Institutet, one of Sweden's leading medical universities, offering opportunities for collaboration across scientific fields connected to medicine and health.
The position is a two-year postdoctoral appointment focused on advanced cell sorting, human tissue biology, ovarian biology, female reproductive health, primary cell culture, and molecular analysis.

The position includes benefits available through the Swedish state university collective agreement; no specific stipend or tuition funding is stated.
What's required
A PhD or foreign degree equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required by the time of the employment decision. Candidates must have demonstrated expertise in FACS of cells isolated from human solid tissues, including tissue dissociation, cell preparation, and sorting; experience independently developing and optimizing multicolor FACS panels and cell-sorting strategies; expertise in marker selection, gating strategies, and assessment of cell purity and viability; excellent written and spoken English; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment. Experience with primary human cell culture, preparation and analysis of omics datasets, interpretation of omics data, and reproductive or ovarian biology is advantageous. A doctoral degree completed within the last three years is considered an advantage, subject to exceptions for special reasons.
How to apply
Submit an employment application in English or Swedish through the Varbi recruitment system. Include the PhD certificate, a complete résumé of no more than three pages, a complete publication list, and a one-page summary of current work.
