Researcher in Cellular and Molecular Toxicology (Biomedicine) at Örebro University Örebro University in Sweden

Örebro University in Sweden is recruiting a Researcher in Cellular and Molecular Toxicology within the subject area of Biomedicine. This is a 12-month full-time fixed-term research position focused on how environmental particles and chemical exposures affect human health.

The project sits at the intersection of cellular biology, molecular toxicology, immunology, neuroscience, respiratory biology, biomedicine, and environmental health. The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary and collaborative environment linked to the Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility Centre (iRiSC) and the Man-Technology-Environment (MTM) research centre at Örebro University.

Research tasks include planning and conducting in vitro toxicology studies, working with respiratory, immune, liver, neuronal, and other human-relevant cell models, developing and applying advanced 2D and 3D cell culture systems, co-culture models, organoid-based approaches, and air-liquid interface exposure systems. The role also involves molecular and cellular biology techniques such as RNA/DNA extraction, qRT-PCR, high-content imaging, confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, cytokine analysis, and metabolomics sample preparation.

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or equivalent in a relevant field such as cellular and molecular biology, toxicology, biomedicine, immunology, neuroscience, or respiratory biology. Strong experience in experimental cell-based research and advanced cell culture is required. Good English communication skills are required, and experience with omics, R, scientific writing, and supervision is considered advantageous.

Funding details are not scholarship-based; this is a salaried research employment. The university states that salary depends on qualifications and experience.

The application deadline is 2026-06-29. Apply online and include a cover letter, CV, research qualifications and experience, and supporting certificates/references. Only documents in Swedish, English, Norwegian, and Danish can be reviewed.
