Researcher in Biomedicine

We are looking for a researcher in biomedicine for a fixed-term position at the School of Medical Sciences.

Subject area

The subject area for this position is biomedicine.

Background

We are looking for a researcher in biomedicine to contribute to interdisciplinary research in cardiovascular biomedicine, funded by the Knowledge Foundation. The research focuses on understanding mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease, particularly in the context of inflammation, infection and vascular pathology, and on developing advanced experimental models to investigate these processes.

The work integrates human cell-based models, advanced 3D multicellular systems, molecular and functional characterization, and omics-based approaches to investigate mechanisms of cardiovascular injury and disease progression. Particular emphasis is placed on inflammation and infection in the context of cardiovascular disease, vascular inflammation, and the development of physiologically relevant experimental models that bridge mechanistic research and human disease.

The research is conducted at Örebro University within a multidisciplinary environment and in collaboration with academic, clinical, international and industry partners. This provides opportunities to work across complementary experimental platforms and contribute to translational research aimed at improving our understanding of cardiovascular disease and supporting the development of future preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Duties and responsibilities

The current position is aimed at supporting and further developing research with a focus on experimental cardiovascular biomedicine, including studies of inflammatory, infectious and environmental factors relevant to cardiovascular disease, vascular inflammation, and advanced human-relevant models that link molecular and cellular findings to disease mechanisms and clinical relevance. The work includes advanced cell culture of various cardiovascular cell types, 3D cell models, sphe
