The department carries out experimental research primarily investigating the function of genes and cells in tissues and organisms.

Research project

We are looking for a highly motivated and focused young scientist to carry out postdoctoral research studies in Assistant Prof. Qi Dai’s research group. The research project aims at understanding how key transcription factors determine cell fates using Drosophila as a model system.

Qualification requirements

The successful candidate must have received a doctoral degree from an accredited college/university outside Sweden latest in 2016. The degree must be in the fields of developmental biology, genetics or equivalent. The ideal candidate should have documented experience in fly genetics, tissue manipulation and molecular biology skills. Hands-on experience in work with bioinformatics and in high-throughput assays will be an asset. Excellent English language skills, both written and spoken, are a requisite.

Terms of the fellowship

The terms of this fellowship are regulated by the rules for postdoctoral fellowships at the Stockholm University (http://www.su.se/mbw/mbw-internal/scholarship/guidelines-for-scholarship).
