Open call: MIMS and the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine invite candidates for the position as Group Leader in Molecular Infection Medicine

The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS, is looking for an excellent young researcher to become Group Leader for innovative research in molecular infection medicine. The topic includes but is not limited to research on the biology of bacteria, viruses, parasites and the microbiome and how these interact with the immune system of the host. MIMS has a strong track record of research into microbial (including viral) pathogenesis, and provides excellent access to national research infrastructure, including cutting edge cryo-electron microscopy and animal biosafety level 3 (ABSL3) facility.

MIMS intends to recruit a new Group Leader (Researcher) to start in the coming year. Funding is allocated for a five-year period, with the option of extension up to a total of nine years conditional upon a successful external evaluation in the fourth year.The recruited researcher will receive extensive support to establish their own research group with members at postdoctoral and doctoral level. Successful applicants are also expected to be able to supplement their research budget by attracting national and international research grants.MIMS Group Leaders are expected to conduct a successful research program in synergy with the multidisciplinary research environments in which MIMS is integrated and also participate in collaborations and joint activities that promote research and exchanges within the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.
