MIMS: Postdocs, PhD and Technical Laboratory Positions

Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) is recruiting Postdocs, PhD students, Computational Biologists, Research Engineers

MIMS is establishing a new research groups and it is now recruiting Postdocs, Computational Biologists, Research Engineers and PhD students.

Overview

Organization is looking for qualified candidates interested in joining the highly interactive and multidisciplinary and international research environment for molecular infection medicine at Umeå University and two of our affiliated clinical research fellows at Lund University hospital and Karolinska Institutet.

Several Postdoc Fellowships, Research Engineer and Computational Biologist positions are available in the new laboratory of Oliver Billker (MIMS director from 1st October 2018).The projects are part of a major effort funded by the European Research Council to systematically identify parasite gene functions in malaria transmission.

The following positions and fellowships are available:

1. Postdoctoral Fellowships in Experimental Genomics of Malaria Transmission are available for joining Oliver Billker’s
2. Prospective PhD students are also encouraged to get in touch. A range of projects are available, such as:

• Systematic identification of fertility genes in malaria parasites.
• Mechanisms of Plasmodium sex determination and sexual stage differentiation.
• Single Cell Biology of Malaria Transmission.
• New Transmission Blocking Targets
• Mosquito Immunity.
• Evolution of sexual processes in a divergent eukaryote.
