Work Tasks and Responsibilities You will become part of a highly engaged and experienced team that provides services to research projects requiring various NGS-based methods, including DNA, RNA, and single-cell sequencing, as well as spatial analysis. You will work on a project focused on establishing a method for high-capacity whole-genome sequencing of microbial genomes at the single-cell level, as well as support ongoing laboratory operations. The role is divided between 50% project work and 50% service work. Major work tasks include: - Project work to establish a new method for whole-genome sequencing at the single-cell level (single-cell whole genome sequencing). - Project planning and implementation of established protocols within CTG's service portfolio, including sequencing on Illumina platforms (e.g., NextSeq 2000 and NovaSeq X Plus). - Documentation of laboratory workflows, such as writing protocols for new methods and participating in ongoing work to improve existing methods. - Performing routine maintenance of laboratory equipment and laboratory environment. - Various administrative tasks, such as ordering reagents and laboratory supplies. Qualifications Requirements for employment: - Degree in biomedical analysis, molecular biology, biomedicine, or a related field (bachelor's or master's level). - At least 6–12 months of practical laboratory experience, e.g., DNA/RNA isolation, PCR, or NGS workflows. - At least 6–12 months of practical experience with cell culture methods and primary cell cultures. - Strong theoretical understanding and/or practical experience with Illumina sequencing platforms. - Proven ability to quickly learn new methods and independently establish laboratory protocols. - Excellent communication skills in both spoken and written English. Meritorious for employment: - Experience with single-cell sequencing (e.g., based on the 10X Genomics platform). - Experience with data analysis for single-cell projects. - Experience with liquid handling systems for automation of laboratory protocols. - Very good communication skills in both spoken and written Swedish. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. You must have a good ability to quickly master new methods and establish new protocols. You should also have excellent communication and collaboration skills and be able to perform your work independently and with high quality while meeting set deadlines. Finally, you must demonstrate very good skills in planning, organizing, and prioritizing. Other Information This is a fixed-term employment SÄVA – special fixed-term employment at 100% for 12 months. The desired start date is August 1, 2026, or by agreement. Interviews will be held at our facilities at BMC D14 (or D15) in Lund during week 26 or by agreement. How to Apply You apply for the position through the university's recruitment system. Your application should include a personal letter explaining why you are applying for the position and how the role matches your qualifications. Your application should also include your CV, diploma or equivalent, as well as other relevant documents you wish to submit. The university applies individual salary setting. Please indicate your salary expectations in your application.
