Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
We are seeking a post-doctoral research fellow in the field of electrochemical sensors and microbiology to join an interdisciplinary project in translational medical research at Karolinska Institutet. This is an exciting opportunity to involve breakthrough research on developing wearable sensor device for medical diagnostics, using a combination of electrochemistry, sensors and microbiology.
Division
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in Parlak Lab at the Division of Dermatology and Venereology, Department of Medicine, Solna and at the centre for Molecular Medicine (CMM). Parlak Lab focuses on developing novel medical diagnostic methods designing wearable sensors for microbiology, immunology and neuroscience.

Specifically, you will work on the fabrication of electrochemical device, synthetic and semi-synthetic biorecognition design for bacterial sensing. You will be integral members of the research team that works to generate high-quality biomedical devices in a high throughput format.
The work includes biosensor device, biorecognition design, and electrochemical analysis. The duties of the position also include reporting and data dissemination. Thus, your work will contribute to the broader goal of the project; to enable rapid, accurate, and safe biosensing, allowing clinicians to improve treatment decisions for the benefit of patients. Although the position is a temporary position longer than six months, this is supposed to correspond to up to 24 months.

Persons who are resident in Sweden and/or have carried out all or part of their academic education at KI or some other educational institution in Sweden cannot be considered for scholarships from KI. The purpose of scholarships for postdoctoral qualification is to promote internationalization and contribute to research qualification after a doctorate or equivalent.
A scholarship for carrying out postdoctoral research can be granted for a maximum of two years within a four year period following the receipt of a doctoral degree or equivalent.
To be eligible for a postdoctoral scholarship, the person must have obtained a doctorate or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have not completed a doctorate at the end of the application period may also apply, provided that all requirements for a completed degree are met before the (intended) start date of the post doctoral education.
