Medicinska fakulteten, med drygt 1800 anställda och 2700 studenter i Lund och Malmö, är en kunskapsintensiv mötesplats för studenter, lärare och forskare från hela världen.



Job assignment: The candidate shall study early and late disease mechanisms occurring in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease models, in vitro and in vivo.

The study includes:

– Generation of human iPSC–derived neural cell types.

– Uncover pathogenic mechanisms in iPSC–derived neural progenies, in vitro.

– Uncover pathogenic mechanisms in iPSC–derived neural progenies, in vivo.

Qualifications: We are looking for a highly motivated student who wants to do a PhD in the field of stem cell biology applied to Neuroscience.

Priority will be given to PhD candidates who have successfully obtained a master thesis, and at least 1–2 years’ experience working with induced pluripotent stem cells or neural stem cells, and animal handling. Candidates having a manuscript published or in preparation, which they could document, will be considered an added value. The candidate should be a good team player with strong interpersonal skills.

The skillful candidate should have strong knowledge in neurobiology, cellular biology, biochemistry and molecular biology. Knowledge in dynamics of protein interaction and aggregation and western blotting would be considered a plus, as well as that of generating neural progenies from induced pluripotent stem cells (preferably human iPSC–derived oligodendrocytes and neurons).

Eligibility

Students with basic eligibility for third-cycle studies are those who- have completed a second-cycle degree- have completed courses of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits are from second-cycle courses, or- have acquired largely equivalent knowledge in some other way, in Sweden or abroad.

The employment of doctoral students is regulated in the Swedish Code of Statues 1998: 80. Only those who are or have been admitted to PhD-studies may be appointed to doctoral studentships. When an appointment to a doctoral studentship is made, the ability of the student to benefit from PhD-studies shall primarily be taken into account. In addition to devoting themselves to their studies, those appointed to doctoral studentships may be required to work with educational tasks, research and administration, in accordance with specific regulations in the ordinance.

Type of employment Limit of tenure, four years according to HF 5 kap 7§
