Postdoctoral Researcher in Advanced Cell Sorting and Human Tissue Biology

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research? We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with

strong expertise in fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and cell isolation from solid tissues to join the research group

Chemicals and Female Fertility at Karolinska Institutet. Our research focuses on understanding human ovarian biology, the effects

of environmental chemicals on female reproductive health, and development of new in vitro models. We offer an exciting opportunity

to develop advanced cell isolation methods using human tissue samples in a multidisciplinary research environment with access to

state-of-the-art technologies. Your mission The successful candidate will lead the development and optimization of advanced cell

isolation and sorting protocols for human ovarian tissue. This includes identifying and validating cell-type-specific markers,

designing multicolor FACS panels, and establishing robust methods for isolating viable, well-characterized cell populations from

rare human tissue samples. The isolated cells will be used for downstream molecular and functional analyses, as well as cell

culture applications, requiring the development of methods to assess cell purity, viability, and functionality. The position also

involves experimental data analysis, documentation and communication of results, and active participation in shared research group

responsibilities. These include human tissue sample collection and processing, laboratory maintenance and coordination, and

administrative duties at the research group, department, and university levels as needed. Your profile We are looking for a

candidate with solid, demonstrated expertise in FACS of cells isolated from human solid tissues, including tissue dissociation,

cell preparation, and sorting. The candidate must have experience in independently developing and optimizing multicolor FACS

panels and cell sorting strategies, including marker selection, gating strategies, and assessment of cell purity and viability.

Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a

multidisciplinary research environment are required. Experience in establishing and culturing primary human cells, preparation and

analysis of omics datasets, and interpretation of omics data are considered meritorious. Knowledge of reproductive biology,

particularly ovarian biology, is also an advantage. To be eligible for employment as a postdoctoral researcher, a PhD or a foreign

degree deemed to be equivalent to a Swedish PhD is required. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled at the latest at the

time of the employment decision. Completion of your doctoral degree within the last three years is considered an advantage. If

there are special reasons, your degree may have been completed earlier. The duration of the employment is 2 years. 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. At Karolinska Institutet, we conduct successful medical research and hold the largest range of

medical education in Sweden. At KI, you get to meet researchers working with a wide range of specialisms and methods, giving you

ample opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience with the various scientific fields within medicine and health. It is the
