The department of immunology, genetics and pathology at Uppsala University (http://www.igp.uu.se)
has a broad research profile, with several strong research groups in
different fields of science, e.g. medical and clinical genetics,
bioinformatics, immunology, pathology, tumour biology, vascular biology
and method development. The department was founded to promote a closer
collaboration between clinical and pre-clinical research and part of the
activity is integrated with the clinics of genetics and
pathology-cytology at the UniversityHospital, Uppsala. Rudbeck
Laboratory has access to state-of-the-art technologies, with core
facilities for cell analysis, confocal microscopy, DNA-sequencing and
genotyping.
Project description: We are looking for a student who wants to study for a PhD degree in the field of molecular cancer genetics. The project will concern application of forward and reverse genetic approaches in human cancer cells to understand phenotypes of mutations observed in human colorectal cancers.
The successful candidate will devote most of the time towards his/her research level education. Other service activities within the department, e.g. education and administrative work can be included within the framework of the employment (maximum 20%).
Qualifications: The applicant should have a MSc degree in Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, or similar subject matter. Experience from experimental research in cancer is considered as additional qualifications. Documented skills in oral and written English are required.
The application should include a curriculum vitae, copies of exams, degrees and grades, references and a short description of the applicant and his/her experience. Letters(s) of recommendation may be included. If the applicant has published scientific papers, they can also be included.
