The Unit of Inflammation Research, Department of Molecular Medicine, invites applications for a full-time position as scientific specialist (academic staff member or special consultant).

Research profile and tasks

The position will be placed in the field of inflammation research, where we conduct research within immunology, focusing on both innate and adaptive immunity.

Specifically, this position will be associated with the flow cytometry core facility, funded through a major grant from the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
