Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future. At the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, at the Sahlgrenska Academy, we conduct research and education covering a wide range of knowledge areas. The institute comprises five different departments: Clinical Neuroscience, Health and Rehabilitation, Pharmacology, Physiology and Psychiatry and Neurochemistry. The Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher employment at the Department of Physiology. The postdoctoral researcher will take part of a preclinical research project with the overarching aim to determine if and how long-acting GLP-1R agonists/GLP-1 analogues act on the brainstem to achieve their anti-inflammatory properties. Subject area Neuroscience/Neuroendocrinology Subject area description Our research aims to understand if and how long-acting GLP-1R agonists/GLP-1 analogues activate neurons in the brainstem in particular (but also in peripheral ganglia) to dampen an overactive immune system. We utilize in vivo studies in genetically modified mouse models that allow us to specifically manipulate neurons that are responsive to GLP-1R agonists using chemo- and optogenetics and elimination. By capitalizing on these genetic tools, we investigate if and how the manipulations affect the ability of GLP-1R-agonists to alleviate inflammation. We combine these in vivo studies with modern histology, detecting both protein and RNA in and outside the brainstem. The outcome of our research can help identify these medications’ mode of action, but also potential novel targets for more directed future inflammatory treatments with fewer side effects. It will also add to our existing knowledge of how the brain communicates with the peripheral nervous system and the immune system to regulate our immune defense. Job assignments The postdoctoral researcher will be an important part of our research group and is expected to actively and independently drive a specific research project, with support from the project leader. The work involves planning, organizing, and conducting in vivo experiments in mice, and analysing and interpreting results. The work includes stereotactic surgery, AAV vectors, in vivo chemogenetics, ablations, laparatomies, and models of inflammation. Furthermore, the postdoctoral researcher is expected to work with in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to actively participate in group meetings, be responsible for documentation related to their own project, participate in the writing of scientific articles, and provide support with mentorship of students/doctoral candidates. Eligibility The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg. To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree, a doctoral degree in art or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made. In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist. Special grounds relate to leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, commissions of trust within union organisations, service within the defence services or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or service/assignment relevant to the subject area. To qualify as a postdoctoral researcher for this employment, the applicant shall hold a PhD in a relevant subject area, i.e. neuroscience/neuroendocrinology directed towards models of inflammation in mice. Assessment The applicant is expected to demonstrate solid experience in experimental animal work (mouse), where documented experience of stereotactic injections, viral vectors and chemogenetics. Expertise with laparotomy and several models of inflammation is highly meritorious. Practical experience with histological techniques is also considered a merit, in particular RNAscope in situ hybridization, tyramide-based immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy. Other important qualifications include excellent oral and written proficiency in English and at least one first-author publication in a scientific journal. Having collaborated actively with other research groups and thereby has documented proof (additional publications) from the collaborations is advantageous. We value an applicant who appreciates collaboration and open communication and who is organised and efficient. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

Project description: Mucosal immunity in the respiratory tract is at the frontline of antiviral immunity. At mucosal surfaces, B cells and antibodies of the IgA isotype are enriched and are thought to be particularly important in controlling infection. Our laboratory (www.angelettilab.com ) has made significant recent discoveries on adaptive immunity in the upper airways (Gailleton et al., PNAS 2025 and Mathew et al., J Exp Med 2026) and is actively investigating how B cell differentiate in the upper airways and how antibodies are able to block influenza infection in mucosal tissues. The group is a dynamic and collaborative environment and is also embedded within the SciLifeLab network in Sweden. This PhD project will be focused on mucosal immunology. The core goal of the project is to dissect basic immunological mechanisms leading germinal center formation, IgA class switching in the nasal tissue and protective immunity. In practice, the PhD student will utilize many methods, including, but not limited to, multicolor flow cytometry, in vivo work and single cell omics techniques. The ideal candidate should have a strong experimental drive interest within the topic of mucosal immunology.
