About this position

Lund University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Division of Rheumatology at the Biomedical Centre in Lund, Sweden. The position is part of the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) research group led by Professor Anders Bengtsson within the Department of Clinical Sciences Lund and the Faculty of Medicine.

The research focuses on SLE, an autoimmune disease, combining clinical characterization with experimental investigation of disease mechanisms. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute primarily to laboratory-based projects and develop assays addressing important immunological and neurological features of SLE and related diseases.

Research activities include identifying and characterizing novel platelet autoantigens, analysing the cerebrospinal-fluid proteome, and investigating the type I interferon system. The work will also examine phospholipid antibodies, neuronal antibodies and other autoantibodies associated with the brain and central nervous system. Brain-imaging results will be analysed alongside other biomarkers to improve understanding of disease-related processes.

The researcher will compile findings for publication in scientific journals and participate in experimental projects initiated by other research groups in the Division of Rheumatology. The role includes active participation in internal meetings, seminars and international conferences, with travel required. The group includes clinically active rheumatologists, doctoral students, a nurse and a biostatistician, creating an interdisciplinary environment connecting experimental research, clinical expertise and quantitative analysis.

The division is located close to Skåne University Hospital and is part of Lund University's internationally oriented Faculty of Medicine. The research group emphasizes respectful collaboration, professional development, participation and a healthy psychosocial work environment.

Funding details

Full-time temporary employment for two years, with the possibility of extension for up to one additional year. Salary is monthly and employment benefits include special governmental-authority benefits, generous holidays and a favorable occupational pension. The post is not described as a scholarship or stipend-funded studentship.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent international degree relevant to the position, specifically in rheumatology with a focus on SLE and the central nervous system. Candidates should have extensive laboratory experience in autoimmune diseases, including development and validation of ELISA, cell-based reporter gene assays, qPCR, protein purification and protein chemistry methods, as well as bioinformatics focused on cerebrospinal-fluid proteomics. Experience analysing and compiling research results for publication and reviewing scientific literature for assay development is required. Fluency in spoken and written Swedish and good spoken and written English are required. Meritorious qualifications include GMP, GLP and GCP training, strong theoretical knowledge of immunology, inflammation and autoimmunity, and specialist knowledge of the complement system. The PhD should normally have been completed no more than three years before the application deadline, subject to special circumstances.

How to apply

Apply through Lund University's Varbi recruitment system using the application link. Submit a personal letter of up to two pages explaining how you meet the qualifications and how your research connects to the COMBAT project, together with a CV and publication list, a one-page research description, PhD certificate, supporting documents if relevant, and contact details for two references.
