Undergraduate and graduate level education in T cell immunology (scholarship)

Om tjänsten

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

Antigen receptor specificities of non-conventional T cells are poorly understood. Our lab tries to fill this gap in understanding. The successful candidate will contribute to this research.

Your mission

Our lab is part of the Division of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine within the Department of Medicine, Solna. We are based in the Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) building on the Karolinska Solna campus, a hub for cutting-edge immunology research. CMM boasts one of the highest concentrations of immunology labs in Sweden, fostering a vibrant research environment. We actively collaborate with numerous immunology labs across multiple departments on both Karolinska campuses and participate in joint seminars. As a part of our team you will be performing experiments aiming to dissect reactivity of T cell receptors of innate-like T cells.

Your profile

The following experience is required:

• work with T cell receptor signaling reporter cell lines,
• molecular cloning,
• flow cytometry including utilization of 96-well high throughput sample loading,
• production of retroviral particles and spin infection protocols,
• cell culture including transient transfection of mammalian cell lines,
• CRISPR/Cas9 editing in cell lines,
• protein biochemistry.

Meritorious

International experience (work in labs abroad) is a plus.

Type of scholarship

The scholarships may be granted only to:

• Persons who have been admitted (and registered in Ladok) to KI to study at the undergraduate or graduate level,
• Persons who are admitted (and registered) to undergraduate or graduate level programs at a university with which KI collaborates.

The scholarships can be granted either for studies in an existing course or for a shorter period of practical research experience (documented in an individual study plan/research plan) for admitted students at the undergraduate or graduate level. The scholarships may be awarded for up to 12 months (divided into a maximum of four courses/periods) during the study period. Decisions on scholarships may be made for a maximum of six months at a time.

The scholarships may not be disbursed to any person who received a salary or remuneration from KI during the two-year period immediately preceding the potential disbursement. This provision may be waived if the income received during the preceding two-year period relates to:

• Income of less than 1,000 SEK per year
• Compensation paid to research subjects
• Compensation paid to student representatives on KI boards/committees
• Compensation for work performed that was of an entirely different nature than education and research

Application process
