Join our laboratory of Molecular Genomics as a Research Engineer to uncover how human cells provoke stress responses and coordinate the process of differentiation at the molecular level. We are looking for a motivated and skilled Research Engineer with a strong background in molecular and cellular biology and solid hands-on experience in laboratory techniques including cell culture, molecular methods, and genetic tools. You will be part of a dynamic research environment focused on dissecting the molecular mechanisms that govern cellular stress responses and induced differentiation in human cells. Your main responsibilities will include culturing and treating human cell lines, collecting and analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein samples, performing advanced cytoprofiling, and contributing to the large-scale mapping of transcription factor activity during cellular state transitions. We are looking for candidates with documented experience in molecular biology and cell culture. The position is based on-site at Campus Solna in Stockholm, and daily presence in the lab is required. You will be expected to carry out laboratory work with a high degree of rigor and to maintain thorough and organized documentation of experimental procedures and results. This position provides an excellent opportunity to work at the intersection of genomics, cell biology, and transcriptional regulation, with access to cutting-edge techniques and collaborative expertise.
What we offer
A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future.
Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
An inspiring project with access to advanced cytoprofiling and genomic analysis tools
Opportunity to participate in the development and optimization of methods for mapping genome regulation and transcription factor activity
A strong foundation for applying a PhD student position we plan to open in autumn 2025
A graduate degree or an advanced level (higher education) in molecular biology, cell biology, genomics, or life sciences or equivalent competence.
Proficiency in English to allow fluent communication with the international research environment, including reading and writing scientific texts and presentation of the research.
Documented lab experience in molecular biology and genomic tools
Preferred qualifications
Experience in design and optimization of oligonucleotides
Experience in analyzing functional genomic regions, including promoters and enhancers
Knowledge of molecular mechanisms that coordinate differentaition and cellular stress responses
