About this position
Karolinska Institutet is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Chemicals and Female Fertility research group, with work centered on developing advanced cell sorting and cell isolation strategies for human ovarian tissue. The project combines fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), human tissue handling, and method development to support research on ovarian biology, female reproductive health, and the effects of environmental chemicals.
The appointed researcher will lead the optimization of protocols for isolating viable, well-characterized cell populations from rare human ovarian samples. This includes identifying and validating cell-type-specific markers, designing multicolor FACS panels, and establishing robust workflows for downstream molecular and functional studies as well as cell culture applications. The role also involves careful assessment of cell purity, viability, and function, together with experimental analysis, documentation, and communication of results.
The work takes place in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment at Karolinska Institutet, with access to state-of-the-art technologies and close interaction with research group activities. The position also includes shared responsibilities related to human tissue sample collection and processing, laboratory coordination, maintenance, and administrative tasks within the group, department, and university as needed.
The research setting offers opportunities to work across human tissue biology, reproductive biology, and advanced cell isolation methodologies in a leading medical university environment.

What's required
A PhD or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required and must be completed by the time of the employment decision. The doctoral degree should normally have been completed within the last three years, although earlier completion may be accepted for special reasons. The candidate must have solid, demonstrated expertise in FACS of cells isolated from human solid tissues, including tissue dissociation, cell preparation, sorting, multicolor panel development, marker selection, gating strategies, and assessment of cell purity and viability. Excellent written and spoken English and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment are required. Experience with primary human cell culture, omics data preparation and analysis, and reproductive biology, especially ovarian biology, are meritorious.
How to apply
Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system. Include a PhD certificate, a complete resumé, a full publication list, and a summary of current work in English or Swedish.
