Postdoctoral studies in developmental lineage tracing of the brain and choroid plexus (scholarship)

Postdoctoral scholarship in the Andersson Lab at Karolinska Institutet’s Department of Cell and Molecular Biology to trace how the embryonic brain and choroid plexus form. The project uses in utero nano-injection of lentiviral vectors, genetic barcoding, single-cell sequencing and 3D imaging in developing mouse embryos to resolve the origin, diversification and spatial organisation of choroid plexus epithelial and associated cells relative to neighbouring brain territories.

Open only to foreign researchers coming to Sweden for all or part of their postdoctoral training; people resident in Sweden or who studied at a Swedish institution are not eligible. Applicants need a PhD (or one completed before the start) in developmental biology, cell biology, neuroscience, molecular biology or a related field, a background in embryonic brain development and/or choroid plexus biology, and practical experience with mouse embryonic tissue, developmental phenotyping, molecular biology and imaging. A scholarship can be held for at most two years within four years of the doctorate.
