About this position
Linköping University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Pantazis group in an ambitious project at the interface of ion-channel biophysics, protein engineering and cellular excitability.
The project aims to engineer novel voltage-gated ion channels that provide new ways to tune the electrical activity of cells. The research will integrate molecular biology, electrophysiology, computational modeling and in vivo validation. The resulting technology is intended to support transformative applications in neurobiology and cardiac electrophysiology.
The postdoctoral researcher will take scientific ownership of a high-risk, high-reward project within a collaborative and internationally recognized ion-channel research environment. The work offers potential for high-impact publications, intellectual property generation and preparation for a future independent research career. The role may also involve collaborative contributions to other group projects, supervision of short-term undergraduate students and participation in shared laboratory activities, including frog oocyte preparation and training new lab members.
The researcher will be based in the Division of Cell and Neurobiology, within the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences at Linköping University, and will work under the academic leadership of Antonios Pantazis, Senior Associate Professor.

What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, or an equivalent foreign degree, awarded by a higher education institution other than Linköping University by the employment decision. The doctoral degree should normally have been awarded no more than three years before the application deadline, although exceptions may apply for special grounds. Required qualifications include a strong mechanistic understanding of ion channels, experimental experience in ion-channel biophysics and electrophysiology, molecular cloning experience, sufficient mathematical skills in basic calculus to construct and interpret models of ion-channel function and cell excitability, and excellent written and spoken English. Experience with protein engineering is meritorious. The group seeks an independent, highly motivated, conscientious, creative and intellectually curious scientist with perseverance and an ambition to become an independent life-sciences group leader.
How to apply
Apply through the online “Apply” button and submit the application and required documents electronically, including selected research publications in PDF or Word format using the application template. Printed publications that cannot be submitted electronically should be mailed to the University Registrar at Linköping University and received by the deadline.
