About this position

The Division of Rheumatology at Lund University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join its experimental research environment at the Biomedical Centre (BMC) in Lund, close to Skåne University Hospital. The position sits within the Department of Clinical Sciences Lund (IKVL), part of the Faculty of Medicine, and is embedded in a research group led by Professor Anders Bengtsson.

The project is centered on systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its underlying disease mechanisms. The successful candidate will work on experimental and translational questions involving novel platelet autoantigens, the proteome of cerebrospinal fluid, type I interferon pathways, and autoantibodies relevant to the brain and central nervous system. A further component of the work includes processing and analysing brain imaging results alongside other biomarkers.

The research group combines clinical expertise and laboratory-based investigation, bringing together rheumatologists with PhDs, doctoral students, and affiliated technical and analytical support. The division also includes related research activity in arthritis and vasculitis, offering a broader immunology and rheumatology setting.

The role is research-intensive and includes assay development, laboratory experimentation, data analysis, publication of findings, and participation in internal meetings, seminars, and international conferences. The post is based in Lund and requires physical presence for meetings and collaborative activities.

The project offers a focused environment for a motivated researcher working at the interface of rheumatology, autoimmunity, and biomarker discovery.

What's required

A PhD in rheumatology, with a focus on SLE and the central nervous system, is required and must be completed no later than the time the employment decision is made. Applicants should have extensive laboratory experience related to autoimmune diseases, including development and validation of ELISA, cell-based reporter gene assays, qPCR, protein purification and protein chemistry methods, as well as bioinformatics work focused on proteomics of cerebrospinal fluid. Candidates should also have experience analysing and compiling research results for scientific publication and reviewing scientific literature for assay development. Fluency in Swedish and good command of English, both spoken and written, are required. Training in GMP, GLP and GCP, strong theoretical knowledge of immunology, inflammation and autoimmunity, and specialist knowledge of the complement system are meritorious.

How to apply

Apply through the university’s recruitment system. Include a personal letter describing how you meet the qualification requirements and how your research is connected to the COMBAT project. Also submit a CV with publications, a short description of previous research work, a copy of your PhD certificate, any supporting documents you wish to include, and contact details for two references.
