Postdoctoral Research Opportunities in Infection Biology and Molecular Infection Medicine at Umeå University

Details

Created: Wednesday, 22 May 2013 14:00

Several positions are open for postdoctoral candidates interested to do research in the highly interactive and multidisciplinary research environment UCMR – Umeå Centre for Microbial Research at Umeå University.

UCMR includes The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) - the Swedish node of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine. UCMR-MIMS researchers combine a strong molecular infection biology programme with chemical biology to clarify molecular mechanisms of microbial infections. We aim to recruit new postdoctoral scientists with competence and ideas that will strengthen the research environment and contribute to its renewal.
