About this position
At Karolinska Institutet, the Department of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology (MTC) offers a collaborative research environment spanning immunology, infection biology, cell biology and cancer. This postdoctoral project is based in a research group led by Professor Birgitta Henriques Normark and focuses on bacteriology and respiratory tract infections with the aim of developing vaccines.
The project centers on two major bacterial pathogens: pneumococci and group A streptococci. These organisms are major causes of respiratory and invasive disease, and the advertised work addresses their pathogenicity, host-microbe interactions, and the identification of vaccine candidates.
The postdoctoral researcher will study bacterial pathogenicity, vaccines and immune responses using a combination of genetic, proteomic, immunological, and molecular microbiology approaches. The work also includes in vitro and in vivo model systems and setting up a production line for bacterial membrane vesicles, supporting the broader vaccine-development effort.
The position is embedded in a strongly multidisciplinary setting with national and international collaborations, and it offers access to a wide range of expertise and methods within one of the world’s leading medical universities. The role is tied to research on respiratory infections, host response, and translational vaccine discovery in a highly collaborative environment.

What's required
A PhD in microbiology and immune responses is required. The candidate should have previous work on immune responses, B- and T-cell responses, and methods such as ELISA, FluoroSpot, and opsonophagocytosis assays with a focus on pneumococcal and streptococcal infections. Documented experience in microbiology, molecular techniques, in vitro work, and especially in vivo animal model systems for streptococcal and pneumococcal infections is expected, along with FELASA B. Strong creativity, good interpersonal and teamwork skills, and proficiency in English and Swedish are required. Experience of international collaborations and project management is considered an advantage.
How to apply
Prepare the application documents in English or Swedish: PhD certificate, complete resumé, complete publication list, and a one-page summary of current work. Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system before the deadline.
