PhD Student in Vascular Biology

PhD Student in Vascular Biology The Department of Surgical Sciences (IKV) is part of the Medical and Pharmacy Science area at Uppsala University and has approximately 160 employees and around 230 registered doctoral students, many of whom are clinically active physicians and nurses. The department conducts research and education at the undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral levels. Research is conducted in research groups organized primarily around surgical specialties and related medical fields. Teaching takes place within medical, nursing, radiography nursing, and specialist nursing programs, among others. The department also has a number of research infrastructures. The vascular surgery research group in Uppsala conducts broad, internationally leading research on vascular diseases under the leadership of Professor Kevin Mani and Anders Wanhainen. The research spans from prevention and screening, translational research on the mechanisms behind vascular wall disease development, and the development of new medical treatments, to advanced surgical treatment. The research group combines clinical and epidemiological research methods with translational and basic scientific research. Job Responsibilities We are now seeking a qualified and motivated doctoral student to join the new research school for biomedical analysts for excellence (BioLabX) with a focus on future educators in health and medical care. The doctoral student will work on a project focused on the treatment and understanding of the mechanisms behind abdominal aortic aneurysm. The current project is translational and is conducted in close collaboration with Professor Dick Wågsäter's research group in vascular biology. Methods used include animal models of vascular disease, cell cultures from both mice and humans, immunostaining of tissue, and molecular biological methods and genetic analyses. The project will primarily focus on further deepening the understanding of some of the new mechanisms the research group has discovered. The project will combine work with methods in biomedical laboratory science, immune cell analysis, in vitro and in vivo work, as well as work with large datasets from proteomics and RNA sequencing data. The applicant is further expected to actively participate in teaching and mentoring of students corresponding to a maximum of 20% of full-time work. Qualification Requirements Eligible for admission to doctoral-level education is someone who has completed a degree at the advanced level, fulfilled course requirements of at least 240 university credits, of which at least 60 university credits at the advanced level, or who has otherwise acquired substantially equivalent knowledge domestically or abroad. For this position, it is required that you have a 3-year basic degree in biomedical analyst education and master's-level education corresponding to 60 university credits at the advanced level in a relevant field (biomedical laboratory science, medicine, biomedicine, pharmacy, medical science, or equivalent). We are looking for a motivated candidate with an interest in biomedical laboratory science, immunometabolism, and physiology. Great emphasis will be placed on personal skills such as communication and collaboration abilities. Applicants must have good knowledge of English and Swedish in speech and writing. You are expected to be able to work independently but also collaborate with other group members. Applicants should have experience with basic methods in biomedical laboratory science, physiology, and immunology such as sample handling and collection, immune cell isolation, bioinformatics, microscopy, cell culture, histology, and cell and molecular biological methods. Meritorious/Desirable Qualifications Documented work with laboratory animals is meritorious. Experience with bioinformatics, large datasets (e.g., RNAseq or proteomics), various imaging methods, as well as documented teaching experience is desirable but not required. Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability. The application should include a brief description of research interests and relevant experience, CV, copies of degree certificates and any translations of such. If available, also send recommendation letters or contact information for previous research supervisors. The doctoral student position consists mainly of doctoral-level education and, to a lesser extent, teaching or administrative work. In order to be admitted to doctoral-level education, it is of crucial importance that the person possesses good ability to master both theoretical and practical elements. About the Position The position is fixed-term, according to the Higher Education Ordinance 5 ch § 7. Full-time. Start date November 1, 2026, or by agreement. Location: Uppsala Regulations for doctoral students can be found in the Higher Education Ordinance 5 ch §§ 1-7 and in the university's rules and guidelines. Information about the position is provided by: Professor Kevin Mani, [email protected] Welcome to submit your application by September 10, 2026, UFV-PA 2026/2469. Uppsala University is a broad research university with a strong international position. The ultimate goal is to conduct education and research of the highest quality and relevance to make a difference in society. Our most important asset is all 7,500 employees and 53,000 students who, with curiosity and commitment, make Uppsala University one of the country's most exciting workplaces.
