Research assistant in immunology and extracellular vesicles

Research Assistant in Immunology and Extracellular Vesicles

Join a research team dedicated to understanding the fundamentals of immunology to apply them in clinical contexts to prevent and cure diseases. Our group values scientific curiosity and careful experimentation. We welcome motivated researchers eager to explore immunology in depth and contribute to advancing the understanding of the role of extracellular vesicles in the immune system, but also to apply the knowledge in clinical collaborations.

Your Mission

You will work in a research group with practical laboratory techniques which will include cell culturing, immunological assays, animal experiments and high-technology laboratory techniques.

Your Profile

You should have a master in life sciences with a specialization in immunology, as well as experience from immunological wet-lab techniques including cell culture, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Work in industry is meritious.

What Do We Offer?

A creative and inspiring environment with wide-ranging expertise and interests. Karolinska Institutet is one of the world's leading medical universities. Our vision is to pursue the development of knowledge about life and to promote a better health for all. At Karolinska Institutet, we conduct successful medical research and hold the largest range of medical education in Sweden. Karolinska Institutet is also a state university, which entitles you to several good benefits through our collective agreement. And you get to practice freely in our modern wellness facilities, where trained staff are on site.

Location: Solna The position is located within the Department of Medicine, Solna. The department consists of ten divisions and each division consists of several research groups. The position is located within the research group led by Professor Susanne Gabrielsson, Division of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine. The group studies naturally occurring nanovesicles known as exosomes, or extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs serve as biological messengers that transfer information between cells and are being investigated as mediators of disease, biomarkers, and therapeutic tools. The group's research is particularly focused on the immunological functions of EVs.
