  The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.

  The Institute of Biomedicine is involved in both research and education. In both of these areas, we focus on fundamental knowledge of the living cell – what it consists of, how it works, how its function is directed by the genetic material, and how it interacts with various kinds of micro-organisms. Using this knowledge, we try to elucidate the causes of diseases, and find new ways to diagnose and treat them. The Institute is composed of the following four departments:

  • The Department of Infectious Diseases
  • The Department of Microbiology and Immunology
  • The Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology
  • The Department of Laboratory Medicine

  At present, the institute has about 315 employees and approximately 450 million SEK in total assets.

  The Sahlgrenska Academy, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Division of Medical Chemistry and Cell Biology, Mitochondrial Genome Maintenance and Expression Group is recruiting a researcher for a temporary position. The group currently consists of approximately 15 researchers, including 4 PhD students and 2 principal investigators.

   

  Duties 

  In this project, the candidate will investigate the biochemical and cell biological mechanisms that regulate mitochondrial DNA replication. The focus is on understanding how the involved proteins interact and how disease-causing mutations affect replication efficiency and genome stability. The work includes a combination of in vitro biochemical assays and cell-based methods. More information about the research group and our work is available at www.falkenberglab.org.

   

  Qualifications 

  PhD in a relevant subject area. The applicant should have experience conducting research at an internationally competitive level in mitochondrial biology. Research experience will be assessed based on scientific publications. In-depth knowledge and extensive experience in mitochondrial DNA replication and gene expression is required, as well as documented expertise in protein chemistry and cell biology methods. The working language in the laboratory is English, and excellent proficiency in both spoken and written English is an absolute requirement.

   

  Employment 

  The position is a temporary appointment 90% of full-time for 12 months, with placement at the Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences. Start date as agreed upon.

  Om jobbet

  This postdoctoral position is part of a research project funded by a Wallenberg Scholar grant. The postdoctoral researcher will work in an interdisciplinary team with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology. The project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern mitochondrial DNA replication and gene expression, and how defects in these processes contribute to human disease.

   

  Subject area 

  Structural studies of mitochondrial DNA replication

   

  Subject area description 

  Mitochondrial DNA replication is essential for maintaining mtDNA integrity and stability and thereby for normal mitochondrial function and cellular energy production. Defects in the replication process can lead to mtDNA depletion or deletions and cause mitochondrial disease.

  Our research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern replication of human mtDNA. We combine structural biology, in vitro biochemistry and cell biology to investigate how the mitochondrial DNA replication machinery is organized and regulated. A particular focus is on structural and functional studies of the protein complexes involved in mtDNA replication and on understanding how disease-associated mutations affect these processes.

   

  Job assignments

  In this project, In this project, the postdoctoral researcher will carry out structural and functional studies of protein and protein-DNA complexes involved in mitochondrial DNA replication. A central aim will be to determine structures of replication complexes using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and use these structures to understand how the proteins interact and regulate mtDNA replication at the molecular level.

  The work will include preparation and biochemical characterization of protein complexes, cryo-EM sample preparation and grid optimization, as well as processing and structural analysis of cryo-EM data. Structural findings will be combined with in vitro biochemical analyses to test mechanistic models and investigate how disease-associated mutations affect the function of the replication machinery.

  The postdoctoral researcher is expected to drive the project independently while working closely with other members of the research group and our collaborators.

   

  Eligibility 

  The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.

  To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree, a doctoral degree in art or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made.

  In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist. Special grounds relate to leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, commissions of trust within union organisations, service within the defence services or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or service/assignment relevant to the subject area.

  Om jobbet

  This postdoctoral position is part of a research project funded by a Wallenberg Scholar grant. The postdoctoral researcher will work in an interdisciplinary team with expertise in molecular biology, biochemistry and structural biology. The project aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern mitochondrial DNA replication and gene expression, and how defects in these processes contribute to human disease.

   

  Subject area 

  Structural studies of mitochondrial DNA replication

   

  Subject area description 

  Mitochondrial DNA replication is essential for maintaining mtDNA integrity and stability and thereby for normal mitochondrial function and cellular energy production. Defects in the replication process can lead to mtDNA depletion or deletions and cause mitochondrial disease.

  Our research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern replication of human mtDNA. We combine structural biology, in vitro biochemistry and cell biology to investigate how the mitochondrial DNA replication machinery is organized and regulated. A particular focus is on structural and functional studies of the protein complexes involved in mtDNA replication and on understanding how disease-associated mutations affect these processes.

   

  Job assignments

  In this project, In this project, the postdoctoral researcher will carry out structural and functional studies of protein and protein-DNA complexes involved in mitochondrial DNA replication. A central aim will be to determine structures of replication complexes using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and use these structures to understand how the proteins interact and regulate mtDNA replication at the molecular level.

  The work will include preparation and biochemical characterization of protein complexes, cryo-EM sample preparation and grid optimization, as well as processing and structural analysis of cryo-EM data. Structural findings will be combined with in vitro biochemical analyses to test mechanistic models and investigate how disease-associated mutations affect the function of the replication machinery.

  The postdoctoral researcher is expected to drive the project independently while working closely with other members of the research group and our collaborators.

   

  Eligibility 

  The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.
