瑞典哥德堡大学招聘分子生物学博士后
 
 
The research at Sahlgrenska Center for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Research (CMR) focuses on the relationship between obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. It comprises twelve research groups and provides a dynamic and creative environment. To further strengthen our research, we are currently recruiting a postdoctoral fellow. This is a full-time position for two years within the Institute of Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg.
 
PROJECT: Emerging evidence indicates that myocardial lipid accumulation causes cardiac dysfunction independently of coronary artery disease. Cardiac lipid accumulation has been proposed to contribute to the high mortality following myocardial infarction in subjects with type 2 diabetes. The cellular mechanisms underlying this poor clinical prognosis remain to be clarified. However, recent data indicate that cardiac lipid accumulation induces apoptosis and loss of muscle cells during the post-infarction period, which aggravate the functional impairment in the diabetic heart and limit its adaptive capacity for compensatory remodeling. It is therefore important to identify the lipids and molecular mechanisms that induce these destructive responses. The project is based on genetically modified mice, small animal surgery, ultrasound analysis, molecular biology and advanced histological analysis.
 
QUALIFICATIONS: Experience of molecular cellular biology, cell culture, genetically modified mice and histology is an advantage. The project requires an enthusiastic and creative person with a passion for science and scientific curiosity. A doctoral degree in a relevant discipline awarded within the past three years is a requirement.
 
FURTHER INFORMATION: For questions about the position, contact Professor Jan Borén (Jan.Boren@wlab.gu.se).
 
APPLICATION: The application, consisting of a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees, should be sent by e-mail to: anstallning@gu.se. Enter the reference number 2011/21 in the subject line. The application can also be sent to: Registrar, Box 100, 405 30, Gothenburg, Sweden.
 
Applications must be received at the Sahlgrenska Academy by 10 March 2011.
