Approaches include molecular, immunological and genetic screens for cell surface receptors, signal molecules, transcription factors and other trans-acting factors, using reporter gene fusions and inducible blood cells in tissue culture. The Arrhenius Laboratories of Stockholm University house five interacting research groups involved in different aspects of innate immunity, as well as several other molecularly and immunologically oriented labs. The positions are for one year, with possible extension up to three years. They are funded by a Scientific Prize from the Goran Gustafsson Foundation for Research in Natural Sciences and Medicine. The candidate should have a strong background in genetics, molecular biology or immunology.
