Designation/Position-  Postdoctoral Fellow Position-2019-20

University of Gothenburg, Sweden  invites application for Postdoctoral Fellow Position-2019-20 from eligible and interested candidates 

About- 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 370 employees and approximately 400 million SEK in total assets.
