Göteborgs universitet möter samhällets utmaningar med mångsidig kunskap. 58 000 studenter och 6800 medarbetare gör universitetet till en stor och inspirerande arbetsplats. Stark forskning och attraktiva utbildningar lockar forskare och studenter från hela världen. Med ny kunskap och nya perspektiv bidrar Göteborgs universitet till en bättre framtid.Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper är en av sex institutioner vid Sahlgrenska akademin vid Göteborgs universitet. Vid institutionen bedrivs forskning och utbildning som sätter människans hälsa och livskvalitet i fokus. Vi representerar 16 olika ämnesområden och är indelade i fyra sektioner. Genom ett berikande samarbete med sjukvården och Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset har vi utvecklat samprojekt och mötesplatser som gynnar både vården och forskningen.

Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper, söker nu en postdoktor, med placering vid avdelningen för kirurgi. Avdelningen för kirurgi bedriver translationell och klinisk forskning inom bl a cancer och har laboratorium på både Sahlgrenska universitetssjukhuset Östra och på Medicinareberget i anslutning till Sahlgrenska Center för cancerforskning (SCCR). Projektet ska bedrivas inom en forskargrupp på SCCR som består av prekliniska forskare, kirurger samt onkologer och som utför translationell och klinisk forskning.



Ämne 
Immunterapi mot cancer
 

Ämnesbeskrivning 
Immunterapi har revolutionerat behandlingen av vissa cancerformer såsom melanom, lungcancer och blodmaligniteter. Men många patienter svarar inte tillräckligt på immuncheckpointhämning eller T-cellsterapi. RNA-terapi är ett växande forskningsfält där man använder RNA som läkemedel eller vaccin. I det förestående projektet kommer postdocen utveckla nya RNA-terapier som kan stärka immunterapi för svårbehandlade cancerformer såsom uvealt melanom och cancer i bukspottkörteln. Till sin hjälp har forskargruppen en världsunik humaniserad musmodell som kan förutspå behandlingsresponser i patient.
 

Arbetsuppgifter 
Du kommer arbeta i ett projekt som utförs i samarbete mellan Göteborgs Universitet och andra aktörer i regionen inklusive Sahlgrenska sjukhuset. Arbetet innebär pre-klinisk och translationell forskning. Det mesta av arbetet innebär tillverkning av nanomediciner, cellodling, djurexperiment, dokumentation samt sammanställning av forskningsrapporter och presentationer. Arbetet medför goda möjligheter att vidareutveckla din forskningskompetens och kan även leda till läkemedelsutveckling.
 

Behörighet 
Behörig att anställas som postdoktor är den som har avlagt doktorsexamen, konstnärlig doktorsexamen eller som har en utländsk examen som bedöms motsvara doktorsexamen. Detta behörighetskrav ska vara uppfyllt senast vid tidpunkten då anställningsbeslutet fattas.

I första hand bör den komma i fråga som har avlagt examen högst tre år före ansökningstidens utgång. Även den som avlagt examen tidigare bör komma i fråga i första hand, om det finns särskilda skäl. Med särskilda skäl avses ledighet på grund av sjukdom, föräldraledighet, förtroendeuppdrag inom fackliga organisationer, tjänstgöring inom totalförsvaret, eller andra liknande omständigheter samt klinisk tjänstgöring eller för ämnesområdet relevant tjänstgöring/uppdrag. 
  

Bedömningsgrunder 
För anställningen krävs att sökande har doktorsexamen inom relevant disciplin såsom medicin, molekylärbiologi, farmaci eller bioteknik. Då projektet syftar till att leda till läkemedelsutveckling så är stor praktisk erfarenhet av steril arbetsteknik i laboratoriemiljö, cellodling och flödescytometri en merit. Andra meriter är erfarenhet av arbete med nanomedicin, RNA, samt erfarenhet av dokumentation i elektroniska system och andra arbetssätt från läkemedelsföretag. En god samarbetsförmåga och dokumenterad förmåga att uttrycka dig vetenskapligt i tal och skrift är ett krav. Stor vikt kommer att läggas vid personlig lämplighet för projektet och dess framtida utveckling mot en klinisk produkt.
 

Anställning
