About this position
The Nanomedicine and Spatial Biology Lab at Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Physiology and Pharmacology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join a programme focused on the spatial organization of membrane proteins. The project investigates how membrane proteins assemble into dynamic nanodomains that regulate receptor signaling and intracellular trafficking, and how disruption of this organization may contribute to disease states such as cancer and neurodegeneration.
The successful researcher will work on developing DNA nanotechnology-based methods for large-scale, high-resolution mapping of membrane protein nanodomains in physiological and disease contexts. The role sits at the interface of spatial biology and nanomedicine and combines method development with experimental and analytical work.
- Design and production of DNA nanostructures for nanoscale biological studies
- Cell biology experiments to probe membrane organization in cells and cell populations
- Advanced microscopy to study nanoscale architecture
- Large-scale data analysis to support spatial mapping approaches
The lab’s work is positioned within Karolinska Institutet’s wider research environment in medical science, with cross-disciplinary expertise and access to methods spanning medicine and health. The opening is based in Solna at Biomedicum and is linked to the Nanomedicine and Spatial Biology research group led by the Teixeira lab page at KI.

What's required
Applicants must meet the eligibility requirements for postdoctoral employment at Karolinska Institutet as stated in the Guidelines for non-teaching positions and the established profile of employment. The advert particularly values expertise in DNA nanotechnology, cell biology, computational biology, and experience with in vivo studies in zebrafish and mouse models. It is also meritorious to have experience in designing, producing and purifying DNA origami nanostructures, as well as methods for analyzing cellular responses, including single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and advanced microscopy. A PhD certificate is required among the application documents.
How to apply
Submit the application through the Varbi recruitment system. Prepare and upload a PhD certificate, CV, qualifications, and a letter of intent. The application may be written in English or Swedish.
