3 open positions: Biomedical Analyst (BMA), 1st Research Engineer and Researcher for cell profiling applications
20 Dec, 2021
Funded by an infrastructure grant from the Swedish Research Council, our research group at Uppsala University is now establishing a new node as part of the Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden, a national infrastructure for chemical biology. Our facility node will offer services focused on cell profiling and screening primarily using the Cell Painting assay.
The positions are placed at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences located at the Biomedical Center (BMC), Uppsala University, where you will work closely with a team of biologists, data scientists, and engineers in close collaboration to the Pharmaceutical Bioinformatics research group.
Position 1: Biomedical Analyst (BMA) with a focus on chemical biology and image-based cell profiling
We are looking for an experienced biomedical analyst (BMA) for a permanent position as technical staff in the facility to work with morphological profiling services and small molecule screening.
Qualifications: University degree in a relevant field. More than five years of laboratory experience, including cell culture, molecular biology techniques such as immunofluorescence staining, cell-based assay development and optimization of lab protocols. Laboratory automation experience and an ability to troubleshoot high throughput equipment including robotic liquid handlers.

Position 3: Researcher with a focus on morphological cell profiling (1-year temporary position)
We are looking for an experienced Researcher for a 1-year temporary position in our team to work on establishing Cell Painting (high-content imaging of cells using multiplexed fluorescent dyes) as a methodology that can be offered as a service to Swedish researchers. Tasks include: Standardization of Cell Painting in diverse cell models including cancer cell lines and primary cells; Development of cell-line specific image analysis pipelines; Generation of reference datasets for selected drug libraries; Interaction with the rest of the team to establish the necessary lab infrastructure, protocols, and data analysis required for a service facility.
Qualifications: Doctoral degree ina a relevant field. Solid experience in cell-based experimentation and molecular biology techniques such as immunofluorescence staining, cell-based assay development and lab protocol optimization. Experience of laboratory automation including robotized liquid handling as well as the use of automated microscopy and image analysis is a requirement. Experience from profiling and screening of chemicals / drugs and the Cell Profiler software is meriting.
