PhD position summary/title: 1-2 doctoral (PhD) student positions with focus on single-cell/spatial omics and molecular mechanisms underlying multiple sclerosis
Our research group has performed single-cell/spatial omics studies, identifying for instance several cell states within the oligodendrocyte lineage in development and disease (Science 2016, Dev Cell 2018, Nature Medicine 2018, Nature 2019, Nature Biotechnology 2021, 2022, Neuron 2022, Nature 2023, among others). Our recent findings suggest that oligodendrocyte lineage cells might present other functional properties than previously thought, transitioning for instance to disease-associated states. In addition, our results also suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with multiple sclerosis susceptibility might be operational in oligodendrocyte lineage cells. The PhD student(s) project(s) will focus on the development and application of single-cell/spatial omics technologies, and/or investigate the molecular mechanisms operational in disease-associated oligodendrocytes and underlying the function of these SNPs. The successful candidate(s) will be integrated in a multidisciplinary team comprising computational, molecular and cellular biologists and neuroimmunologists

PhD position summary/title: Doctoral (PhD) student position in immunology
The research project will characterize fundamental features of T cell biology and immunometabolism and uncover, for the first time, the role of atypical ubiquitination in T cells. Particularly, the Ph.D. student will use knockout strategies in cells and mice to investigate the role of a novel ubiquitin-related enzyme in the regulation of the responses and metabolism of T cells. For this, the student will use mainly gene-edited mice to perform diverse ex vivo and in vivo T-cell-based studies, disease models of cancer, asthma, and airway inflammation, as well as biochemical and proteomics approaches. In doing this project, the student will help illuminate the complexity and dynamics of the ubiquitin code, highlight the relevance of atypical ubiquitin chains in T-cell biology and immunity, as well as uncover molecular mechanisms involved in immune-mediated diseases that could serve for future targeted therapies. The project requires learning and applying diverse methodologies in which the group is specialized, including the use of knockout mice and in vivo models of immunity, CRISPR/Cas9 and shRNA gene-editing technologies, microscopy, FACS, histology, overexpression and immunoprecipitations, enzymatic assays, and seahorse flux metabolic studies. For this, the student will take advantage of the common lab set-ups, knowledge, and support, but will work independently. The successful applicant will acquire basic as well as specialized knowledge and understanding in T cell biology, disease modeling, posttranslational modifications, and gene regulation. The project offers the possibility to gain substantial training in modern biomedical research and complementary skills to promote both professional and personal development.

About The Karolinska Institute, Sweden – Official Website
The Karolinska Institute sometimes known as the (Royal) Caroline Institute in English is a research-led medical university in Solna within the Stockholm urban area of Sweden. The Nobel Assembly at the Karolinska Institute awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The assembly consists of fifty professors from various medical disciplines at the university. The current rector of Karolinska Institute is Ole Petter Ottersen, who took office in August 2017.
The Karolinska Institute was founded in 1810 on the island of Kungsholmen on the west side of Stockholm; the main campus was relocated decades later to Solna, just outside Stockholm. A second campus was established more recently in Flemingsberg, Huddinge, south of Stockholm.
The Karolinska Institute is Sweden’s third oldest medical school, after Uppsala University (founded in 1477) and Lund University (founded in 1666). It is one of Sweden’s largest centres for training and research, accounting for 30% of the medical training and more than 40% of all academic medical and life science research conducted in Sweden.
The Karolinska University Hospital, located in Solna and Huddinge, is associated with the university as a research and teaching hospital. Together they form an academic health science centre. While most of the medical programs are taught in Swedish, the bulk of the PhD projects are conducted in English. The institute’s name is a reference to the Caroleans.
