LIFT rekryterar nu en forskare inom området utveckling av innovativa detektionsmetoder för att intensifiera vårt arbete med dessa frågor samt för att öka samverkan mellan de olika ämnena vid vår avdelning. Forskartjänsten är fullt finansierad under fyra år och den rekryterade forskaren förväntas under den tiden arbeta aktivt med att söka externa forskningsanslag för att säkerställa en långsiktig finansiering av denna forskningsinriktning. 

Arbetet kommer bedrivas i nära samverkan med befintliga forskare vid LIFT och den vi söker behöver därför ha mycket god samarbetsförmåga.

Arbetsuppgifterna inkluderar planering och genomförande av forskningsinsatser, presentation av forskningsresultat och författande av vetenskapliga artiklar, handledning av studenter och doktorander, konferensdeltagande, aktivt arbete med att söka externa forskningsmedel samt visst administrativt arbete.

Vi söker dig som vill arbeta med att utveckla nya innovativa detektionsmetoder med det långsiktiga målet om en förbättrad livsmedelssäkerhet, förbättrad djur- och folkhälsa och optimerad läkemedelsbehandling. Fokus ligger på att identifiera biomarkörer för detektion av patogener, samt kemiska och smittförande ämnen och andra biologiska molekyler.

Din bakgrund 

Vi söker dig som har vetenskaplig bakgrund och doktorsexamen inom något av de vetenskapliga områden vi arbetar med inom LIFT (livsmedelssäkerhet, bakteriologi, parasitologi, virologi, One Health, farmakologi och toxikologi). Det är ett krav att du har egen erfarenhet av självständigt, praktiskt laborativt arbete med avancerad metodutveckling inom något av dessa vetenskapliga områden. Erfarenheten bör omfatta utveckling, optimering och validering av molekylära, enzymatiska eller cellbaserade analysmetoder. 

Då det är en uttalad ambition att de utvecklade metoderna ska kunna komma till praktisk nytta även utanför akademin ser vi gärna att du har dokumenterad erfarenhet av arbete med nyttiggörande och innovation samt forskningsnära arbete i regulatoriskt präglade miljöer, där nya analysmetoders kvalitet, dokumentation, användbarhet och acceptans utanför akademin stått i fokus.

Vi söker dig som har en stark personlig motivation för forskningsarbete och en långsiktig ambition om att bygga upp en egen akademisk forskningslinje. Vidare behöver du ha god förmåga att samarbeta med många personer, då vi har ambitionen att detta ska vara ett ämnesöverskridande arbete som inkluderar alla ämnen vid LIFT.

Det är meriterande om du har vetenskaplig erfarenhet (t.ex. eget forskningsarbete, anslagsansökningar, undervisning) från flera (minst två) av de ämnen som vi arbetar med vid LIFT. Vidare är det meriterande om du har dokumenterad erfarenhet av arbete med nyttiggörande och innovation. För tjänsten krävs att du behärskar svenska i tal och skrift samt har goda kunskaper i engelska.

Anställningen erbjuds den som efter en kvalitativ helhetsbedömning anses ha de bästa förutsättningarna att genomföra och utveckla aktuella arbetsuppgifter samt bidra till en positiv utveckling av verksamheten.
