We are looking for a researcher in Mathematical/Computational Systems Biology for a permanent full-time position at the School of Medical Sciences at Örebro University.

Subject area
The subject area for this position is Biomedicine.

Background
This position is a unique opportunity to become a central collaborator in the establishment of the large and well-funded project X-HiDE (www.oru.se/X-HiDE); aiming at using a systems biology approach to investigate inflammatory mechanisms. We are looking for a researcher (junior or senior), who wants to establish a long-term research platform at Örebro University.

X-HiDE will build and investigate mathematical mechanistic models of inflammatory processes on various scales, based on dynamical data produced from in vitro models and connected to large-scale clinical OMICs data. The focus is on mathematical ODE-based multi-level modeling, with systematic testing of subsystem mechanisms, and assembly of these into larger models to represent overall systems views. Models will then be investigated regarding their role in inflammation seen in common diseases, and towards translating these findings for clinical application, hybrid modeling approaches will be followed.

X-HiDE is hosted by the Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility Center (iRiSC) at Örebro University (www.oru.se/iRiSC), which, together with the Functional Bioinformatics group, will be the main affiliation for the position. X-HiDE is transdisciplinary and includes also academic partners located at Linköping University, Sweden, and at Rostock University, Germany but also major industrial partners, e.g. AstraZeneca in Gothenburg and Wolfram MathCore in Linköping. As part of the project, the position offers the possibility and is encouraged to spend shorter or longer times at these sites.

Duties and responsibilities
Duties and responsibilities involve research, teaching, and collaboration.  We expect the researcher to develop his/her autonomy as a scientist and to acquire further qualifications in terms of both research and teaching skills. The position shall also contribute to the University’s development, and as such be responsible of coordinating the establishment of Systems biology at Örebro University. The University has a strong profile in artificial intelligence (AI) and is looking for further opportunities to expand its multi-disciplinary research, and thus an important part of the position is to collaborate and find links to the AI research at Örebro University. The successful candidate is therefore expected to act as a bridge between the AI research environment and systems biology at X-HIDE, and to find new projects and opportunities between the two environments. The main work of the position involves coordinating the collaboration between X-HiDE’s partners – academic and industrial. Also, one important task is to take initiative for further national and international collaborations and funding.

The applicant will also be involved in the development and investigation of dynamical mathematical models based on experimental data available within X-HiDE; data relevant for a variety of mechanisms at different scales of inflammation. The applicant will engage in in-depth discussions for hypothesis development, model specification and adaptation, as well as generation of model predictions in close collaboration with experimentally working biomedical researchers and clinicians.

The researcher will further develop courses and teach on masters and PhD level.

Qualifications
Those qualified for the appointment as a researcher are applicants, who have obtained a doctoral degree, or a degree from abroad deemed to correspond to a doctoral degree.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in biomedicine for a two-year fixed-term position at the School of Medical Sciences.

Subject area
The subject area for this position is cardiovascular biology / immunology.

Background
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death world-wide, accounting for approximately one third of all deaths globally. Atherosclerosis is the underlying process for most CVDs and is characterized by accumulation of cholesterol and activated immune cells in the arterial wall. The clinical presentations of atherosclerosis are diverse and comprise myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral arterial disease etc.  Vascular inflammation is a crucial component in the development of CVD and is currently evaluated as therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease.

In the current project the importance of the melanocortin system in the development of cardiovascular disease will be evaluated, and novel drug candidates that act on the melanocortin receptors will be tested for their ability to reduce vascular inflammation, and thereby decrease the risk for cardiovascular events.

The position is part of a strong research environment, Cardiovascular research centre (CVRC) at Örebro University (https://www.oru.se/english/research/research-environments/mh/cardiovascular-research-centre-cvrc/ ). The main aims of the research environment are to significantly strengthen the cardiovascular research through genuine translational research and collaboration between basic and clinical scientists at Örebro University and Örebro University Hospital, and to create unique multidisciplinary projects in the field of cardiovascular research.

Örebro University is one of the fastest growing university in Sweden with 17000 students and 1500 employees.  In year 2020, Örebro University was ranked among top 75 of the young universities according to the Times Higher Education, and top 30 when considering citation rate per se. Örebro University is a government university, which entitles to several benefits such as extended holiday and generous occupational pension and health insurance. Employees also receives health and wellness coupons. https://www.oru.se/english/working-at-orebro-university/why-work-at-orebro-university/

Duties and responsibilities
The appointment as a postdoctoral researcher is intended to enable persons who have recently been awarded their doctoral degree, to consolidate and develop primarily their research skills.

In the current position the post-doctoral fellow will study melanocortin receptor agonist and their impact in vascular cells and immunes cells and evaluate how novel melanocortin receptor agonists affect atherosclerosis development and progression. The applicant will work with cultured cells and ex vivo with human and mice blood and tissues and study cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying development of cardiovascular disease.

The researcher is expected to work independently, to take responsibility of the execution, organization, and development of the research project, to generate and document experimental results, and to report project progresses to the team leader regularly. The researcher should be experienced in scientific communication and are expected to supervise junior members of the group. This study will be conducted in close collaboration with two Swedish companies in the life science sector, as well as in collaboration with other members of the Cardiovascular Research Centre.
