Research Assistant in Psychoneuroimmunology

Help test, for the first time in humans, whether sickness behaviour supports immune function, by examining how behavioural changes during a laboratory-induced common cold influence immune responses. In Julie Lasselin’s psychoneuroimmunology group, the assistant supports recruitment, coordinates study days, administers behavioural and cognitive tests, handles blood samples and performs basic analysis during quarantine data collection at Tovetorp.

Master's degree in psychology, neuroscience, biomedicine or a related discipline; documented experience running human clinical or experimental studies with psychological or neurocognitive assessment and participant recruitment; very good English. Swedish and knowledge of psychoneuroimmunology are particular merits. Part-time (75%) for six months with possible extension; multi-day stays at the study site during collection.
