Researcher in Psychiatry and Neurochemistry

Apply before: February 9th 2021
Institute: University of Gothenburg, Sweden
  The Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, invites applications for a Researcher position at the Department of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry. The Division of Psychiatry and Neurochemistry at the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology conducts neurochemical research aimed at identifying and studying pathophysiology and pathologies in neurodegenerative diseases.

This research group uses state of the art NMR-spectroscopy to study large molecular complexes underlying basic cellular functions at the atomic level in combination with other structural biology methods and biophysical characterization.

We are looking for a colleague, that is highly motivated, scientifically independent and creative, as well as capable of contributing to an interdisciplinary team environment.Great importance will be placed on personal suitability.

Requirements:

  • a strong background in infectious biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and/or NMR spectroscopy;
  • Experience in recombinant protein expression from different host-systems;
  • Expert knowledge in solution NMR methods;
  • Expert knowledge in sample preparation;
  • Documented knowledge in automated data procession and analysis;
  • Knowledge in cell biology, including handling of mammalian cell culture etc.;
  • Detailed knowledge in additional biophysical and structural biology techniques.

The employment is limited (temporary) for 12 months, 100 % of full-time, and is placed at the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology. Starting date; as soon as possible or as agreed.

PhD Student on Human Interaction Chalmers University of Technology Sweden

 

Apply before: Not Specified
Institute:
Chalmers University, Gothenburg, Sweden
Job specification:
  • Candidates should have an MSc degree in psychology/behavioural sciences or an engineering discipline, with knowledge in one or more of the following fields: human factors, cognitive psychology, neuro science, ergonomics, human machine interfaces, cognitive modelling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistics, automotive technology, driver assistance systems, software engineering, computer science, control theory, transport modelling, and safety analysis.
  • The overall goal of this project is to enable rapid and reliable development of safe and user-centred automated vehicles (AVs) for urban environments. Vehicle automation has been identified as a game-changer in transport, promising substantial reductions in road-traffic fatalities while improving mobility. However, the processes to integrate automation in transport have been primarily technology-focussed, with insufficient consideration given to how users both inside and outside of the AVs will interact with AVs.

    The main objective of SHAPE-IT is to facilitate the safe, acceptable (and, ideally, desirable) integration of user-centred and transparent AVs into tomorrow’s mixed urban traffic environments, using both existing and new research methods, designing advanced interfaces and control strategies.

Neurobiology of Alcohol Use Disorder

 

Apply before: December 31st, 2018
Institute:
University of Gothenburg (Sweden)
Job specification: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a comorbid and highly prevalent disorder, causing severe health
problems for individual and high costs to the society. Existing pharmacotherapy has shown limited efficacy and therefore further investigation of possible neurochemical targets of alcohol are warranted and could lead to new pharmacological interventions.

The current project aims to reveal the underlying neural circuits regulating AUD and identifying new
treatments of AUD using the operant slef-administration model in rats. The postdocral fellow will work under the research umbrella of Associate professors Jerlhag, Ericson and Adermark. Initially, the postdoctoral fellow will have the unique opportunity to continue to set up the operant selfadministration
