Location: Gothenburg, Västra Götaland County, Sweden Job reference: R-047805 Posted date: Mar. 27, 201
Are you interested in imaging
the inner structure of single cells to understand how drug molecules
reach their subcellular targets? Would you like to contribute to the
establishment of new technologies to study drug disposition/kinetics in
cells and tissues by doing your PhD at AstraZeneca, a company that is
following the science and turning ideas into life changing medicines?
Then you might be the one we are looking for!
AstraZeneca is now recruiting an Industrial PhD student to join theDrug Metabolism Pharmacokinetics (DMPK) New Modalities function within the Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism (CVRM) therapy area. CVRM is intensely pursing new drug modalities (e.g peptides, proteolysis targeting chimera “PROTACs”, RNA based therapeutics).
Building an understanding about subcellular trafficking presents a real
opportunity for the development of biopharmaceuticals where we will
design molecules that effectively navigate these pathways to reach their
targets. This PhD project will be done as part of the University of Gothenburg Chemical Imaging Infrastructure (CII)under
the direction of Andrew G. Ewing. The successful candidate will be
employed by AstraZeneca, and work collaboratively within the CII located
at the AZ BioVentureHub, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The PhD project
In
the pursuit of applying new drug modalities we are finding that
intracellular target engagement is of critical importance. Thus,
information concerning intracellular drug concentrations is greatly
needed. However, this information is difficult to obtain, and it has
been suggested that this space is one of the most neglected areas of
drug discovery. AstraZeneca, in association with the CII, has now begun
to integrate Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS)
imaging into the suite of technologies to study drug
disposition/kinetics in cells and tissues.
This project is a Stiftelsen för Strategisk Forskning (SSF)
funded industrial PhD position with the aim of developing a single cell
analytical nano-imaging technique to provide subcellular drug
distribution imaging with high sensitivity. It aims to combine advanced
analytical technologies to solve fundamental biological questions of
intracellular drug trafficking, to study and quantify endosomal escape
and concentration of drug at disease targets inside the cell. You will
develop the ability to bridge the physical aspects of ion/matter
interactions and the biological process under investigation. In addition
to course work and basic training for the PhD, you will develop
scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research
verbally and in writing. The position includes teaching (laboratory or
tutorial) at the undergraduate level or performing other duties
corresponding up to 20 per cent of working hours. Your major
responsibilities will be to pursue your own doctoral studies.
About the CII
The
Chemical Imaging Infrastructure (CII) is a world-unique research
infrastructure with a primary focus on high lateral resolution imaging
mass spectrometry. Internationally CII has a world leading equipment
base backed up by internationally recognized experts in the development
and application of SIMS. CII is hosted by the Department of Chemistry
and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers and by the Department of Chemistry
and Molecular Biology at the University of Gothenburg.
Requirements
To
qualify as a PhD student, you must hold a Master’s level degree in
BioScience, Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry,
Chemistry or a similar area.
A strong interest in biology is
required and experience with cell culture an advantage. Experience with
mass spectrometry and image analysis is preferred but not required.
Excellent English in writing and speaking and strong communication skills are required.
Due
to the multi-disciplinary nature of this PhD project, you should
preferably be curious, goal oriented, cooperation minded, and keen on
transferring theoretic and applied academic work into practice.
If you are interested, apply now!

suullista taitoa. Aiempi kokemus laboratoriotyöskentelystä,
molekyylibiologisista (esim. RNA-seq analyysit ja bioinformatiikka)
ja/tai solubiologista (esim. virtaussytometria ja ELISA analyysit)
menetelmistä katsotaan eduksi hakijalle. Jos sinulla on jokin näistä
taidoista, pyydämme kertomaan siitä ansioluettelossa ja/tai
motivaatiokirjeessä (ks. alla).
Tutkijatohtorilta edellytetään soveltuva tohtorin tutkinto, joka on
suoritettu enintään 5 vuotta ennen tutkijatohtorin tehtävän
vastaanottamista. Mikäli tohtorin tutkinto on suoritettu yli 5 vuotta
ennen tehtävän aloittamista, hänet otetaan projektitutkijan tehtävään.
Aikaraja tarkoittaa tässä yhteydessä nettoaikaa, johon ei lasketa esim.
äitiys- tai vanhempainlomaa tai asevelvollisuuden suorittamista.
Projektissa on mahdollisuus tehdä myös väitöskirjatyö, jolloin
nimikkeenä on nuorempi tutkija. Nuoremman tutkijan tulee olla
jatkokoulutuskelpoinen, soveltuvan ylemmän yliopistotutkinnon
suorittanut tai soveltuvan ulkomaisen koulutuksen, joka asianomaisessa
maassa antaa kelpoisuuden vastaaviin korkeakouluopintoihin, suorittanut.
Tehtävään mahdollisesti kuuluva opetus ja ohjaus voidaan toteuttaa englannin kielellä.
Tehtävä täytetään alustavasti ajalle 1.7.2019-31.8.2020. Mahdollisesta jatkosta sovitaan lisärahoituksen varmistuttua.
Määräaikaisuuden perusteena on neliportaisen uramallin mukainen
opetus- ja tutkimustehtävä ja määräaikainen hanketehtävä.
(Tutkijatohtorin/nuoremman tutkijan tehtävään otetaan aina määräajaksi,
johtosääntö 31§).
Tutkijatohtorin tehtävän palkkaus määräytyy yliopistojen opetus- ja
tutkimushenkilöstön palkkausjärjestelmän mukaisesti vaativuustasolle 5
(2 935,55 €/kk). Nuoremman tutkijan tehtävän palkkaus määräytyy
palkkausjärjestelmän mukaisesti vaativuustasoille 2-4 (€2033,29 –
€2535,20/ kk). Tehtäväkohtaisen palkanosan lisäksi maksetaan
henkilökohtaiseen suoriutumiseen perustuvaa palkanosaa, joka on enintään
50 % tehtäväkohtaisesta palkanosasta.
Lisätietoja tehtävän osalta antaa: Akatemiatutkija Jukka Kekäläinen, sähköposti: jukka.s.kekalainen[a]uef.fi, puh. +358 50 467 4487 ja hakumenettelyn osalta: Henkilöstösihteeri Noora Hämäläinen, sähköposti: noora.hamalainen[a]uef.fi, puh. +358 50 409 0376
