Fixed-term

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?  We are looking for an ambitious postdoctoral fellow with strong human or preclinical immunology skills to join the Lemarquis group at Karolinska Institutet. Our well-funded program focuses on translational mechanisms and interventions that restore T cell immunity after cancer therapy, transplantation, and aging. We offer a fast-moving, collaborative environment at the interface of spatial biology, single-cell multi-omics, and in vivo functional immunology. Mission Our group studies thymic function, immune reconstitution, and regenerative mechanisms that restore naïve T cell production in humans. Our research integrates lineage tracing preclinical model with advanced cellular immunology with spatial transcriptomics and single-cell multi-omics of human samples to define regenerative circuits to develop actionable therapies. We work closely with clinical cohorts and human tissue resources, and our projects are designed to bridge mechanistic discovery with translational biomarker and therapeutic development. You will take a leading role in ongoing projects addressing novel approaches to enhance thymic function in clinically relevant contexts (e.g. cancer therapies, allo-HCT and chemotherapy). The work includes handling of human and murine models and immune monitoring material, isolation and functional profiling of T cell subsets and/or stromal-associated immune populations, and deep phenotyping using high-parameter flow cytometry. Depending on project needs, you will also generate and analyze bulk and single-cell transcriptomic and epigenetic datasets (e.g., scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq), integrate multi-modal data, and perform in vitro assays (e.g., co-cultures, organoid/ATO-type systems where relevant) and targeted loss-/gain-of-function experiments. As this is a team effort, excellent communication skills and proven ability to work in multidisciplinary teams are essential. The postdoc is expected to drive the project forward, contribute to manuscripts and presentations, and supervise students and junior researchers when needed. Your profile Qualified to be a postdoctoral fellow is an applicant who has obtained a PhD (or equivalent competence) in immunology, molecular/cellular biology, bioinformatics, or a closely related discipline. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the intended start date. Meriting Experience with high parameter flow cytometry. Experience with single-cell methods Experience with murine models Unique skills applicable to cancer immunotherapy Interest in translational immunology and biomarker development Experience with human or preclinical immunology models Being interested in pursuing a career in academia Division Department of Laboratory Medicine (Labmed), Karolinska Institutet, Campus Flemingsberg. The group operates in a translational immunology setting with close connections to clinical partners and core facilities for advanced cytometry and sequencing-based profiling. Duties  Plan and execute experiments in human and preclinical immunology models relevant to thymic injury and regeneration.   Perform high-parameter flow cytometry, sequencing and downstream analysis.   Generate, analyze, and integrate sequencing datasets.   Perform functional assays using in vitro organoid and stem cell culture systems.   Contribute to manuscripts, present results, mentor junior members, collaborate across projects and with other research groups.   Supervise trainees and contribute to shared lab responsibilities as needed.  Entry requirements Postdoctoral scholarships may be established for foreign researchers who pursue their merit in Sweden. A foreign researcher is a person living in another country who comes to Sweden with the intention of only staying in Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral education at KI. Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
