About this position
Örebro University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Cellular and Molecular Virology research group within the School of Medical Sciences. The project sits in the field of Biomedicine and focuses on the development and evaluation of novel mRNA-based vaccines against tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV).
The successful researcher will work on experimental virology and vaccine research with a strong emphasis on the molecular biology of tick-borne flaviviruses. The project includes molecular cloning, viral reverse genetics, generation of infectious cDNA clones, site-directed mutagenesis, and the creation and characterization of recombinant flaviviruses. A key part of the work is to study viral replication, virus–host interactions, and molecular determinants of pathogenicity.
The position also involves contributing to the design and evaluation of vaccine candidates using cell-based assays, neutralization assays, in vivo animal models, and relevant immunological methods. The role includes experimental data analysis, scientific writing, and presentation of research results. The project is carried out in close collaboration with other researchers and industrial partners, giving the postdoctoral researcher the opportunity to work in a collaborative research environment that bridges academic and applied vaccine development.
The position is linked to the research project Development of novel mRNA-based TBE vaccines, funded by the Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen).

The project is funded by the Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen). The appointment is full-time for two years and may be extended by up to one additional year subject to available funding and applicable regulations. Salary is determined individually based on qualifications and experience.
What's required
Applicants must hold a doctoral degree, or an equivalent foreign degree, in a subject relevant to the position such as molecular virology, virology, molecular biology or biomedicine. Candidates in the final stage of PhD studies may apply if they expect to complete the degree before the employment decision, but the doctoral degree must be completed by then. Preference is given to those who earned their doctorate no more than three years before the application deadline, subject to the applicable postdoctoral employment agreement. Applicants must not previously have held a postdoctoral position for more than one year in the same subject and at the same higher education institution.
How to apply
Apply online through Örebro University's recruitment system. Submit a cover letter, CV, description of scientific qualifications and research achievements, degree certificates or proof of expected PhD completion, and up to ten full-text scientific publications. Use documents written in Swedish, English, Norwegian or Danish only.
