Embark on an enriching research journey with a fully-funded Ph.D. position at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Led by Professor Goncalo Castelo-Branco, the project focuses on spatial omics in multiple sclerosis, unraveling molecular mechanisms, and designing novel therapies. This opportunity allows enrollment at either the University of Toronto or the University of Alberta.
Ph.D. Student Responsibilities:
- Application and computational analysis of spatial transcriptomic and epigenomic technologies.
- Collaboration within a multidisciplinary team of computational, molecular, and cellular biologists, and neuroimmunologists.
- Contribution to ongoing research on cell states within the oligodendrocyte lineage in development and disease.
- Exploration of the transition of oligodendrocyte lineage cells to disease-associated states.
Eligibility:
- Master’s degree in biomedical sciences, computational biology, or a related field.
- Proficiency in English equivalent to English B/English 6 at Swedish upper secondary school.
- Experience in genomics, biology, computer science, or related fields.
- Ability to perform and analyze large-scale genomics data (bulk, single cell, spatial).
- Strong collaborative approach to research and ability to work independently.
Application:
Submit your application and supporting documents through the Varbi recruitment system, including:
- Personal letter and curriculum vitae.
- Degree projects and previous publications, if any.
- Documentation showcasing desirable skills and personal qualities.
- Documents certifying general and specific eligibility.
Embark on a research adventure at the forefront of spatial omics and contribute to groundbreaking medical research at Karolinska Institutet. Apply by the deadline for this exciting Ph.D. opportunity.
