Om tjänsten
Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research? We are looking for a research assistant to join our supportive and
skilled team. We offer a stimulating environment with the possibility to learn new cutting-edge immunological techniques in a
rapidly moving research frontier. The Mjösberg group studies the differentiation, regulation and function of innate lymphoid cells
(ILCs) and T cells in humans, and how these cells contribute to pathology in mucosal organs such as the gut and airways
(https://ki.se/en/medh/clinical-lung-and-allergy-research-unit-claru). The studies are translational as they involve advanced
basic molecular and cellular immunological investigations of precious human tissue samples to discover novel disease mechanisms,
therapy targets and biomarkers. The group is internationally recognized in the field through several high impact publications in
recent years. Your mission The main responsibilities for the research assistant will be to support the group’s work with research
on human gut tissues including gut tumor materials. The duties will be tissue dissection, biobanking, isolation of lymphocytes as
well as flow cytometry and single-cell RNA-sequencing analysis together with PhD students and postdocs in the lab. Also other
experimental methods will be used, such as tissue sectioning and downstream analysis. The candidate will also support our lab
manager in maintaining a good laboratory work environment, ordering, organizing databases and data sets. It is expected that the
applicant participates in project meetings, support students and other researchers in their work, as well as contribute to common
lab duties. Your profile The candidate must hold a Master’s degree in the field of biomedicine, medicine or immunology when the
position starts. The candidate should have experience with human tissue processing, isolation and culture of primary immune cells.
It is a merit to have skills in multidimensional (>20 parameters) flow cytometric analysis and sorting as well as multiplex
immunohistochemistry and microscopy. Experience in management of datasets and databases is a merit. The candidate should be
self-motivated and be eager to learn and take on new tasks in a dynamic research environment. The candidate should have good
communications skills and a proven ability to interact effectively and work productively in an interdiciplinary team. The
applicant must have excellent organizational skills, be accurate and flexible, and have the ability to work efficiently to meet
deadlines as well as being able to multitask. Fluency in English is a requirement as well as some basic skills and willingness to
learn Swedish. What do we offer? A creative and inspiring environment with wide-ranging expertise and interests. Karolinska
