The Disciplinary Domain of Medicine and Pharmacy at Uppsala University consists of two faculties comprising twelve departments where students are taught and research is conducted.
The main task of the PhD student will be to identify the key players in tumourigenesis of endocrine organs by genomic, genetic, epigenetic and proteomic analyzes. The aim is to provide insight into the processes resulting in neuroendocrine tumors (NET). The goal of the research is to look at various endocrine tumors, (mainly NET frpm the small intestine and adrenal tumors), to identify new biomarkers, new diagnostic markers, and enhance imaging protocols. Previous research has shown that these tumors have some genetic linkage, the goal is to look further and deeper into this theory and attempt to solidify new genetic mappings that could lead to an eventual alteration in the treatment protocol of patients diagnosed with these pathologies.
EligibilityThey seek a highly motivated creative person with a strong interest in interdisciplinary research.
ScholarshipFunding for a PhD position normally extends over a period of four (full-time equivalent) years. Additionally, teaching assistance duties up to a level of 20% of full time may be pursued. More information can be obtained on the following web page: www.medfarm.uu.se
ApplicationThe application should include a CV, authorized copies of degrees and transcripts of academic records and a letter of intention (max 2 pages), where you describe yourself, your research interest and research experience. In addition the application should include relevant publications, and contact information for at least two references.
You are welcome to submit your application no later than May 13th, 2012, UFV-PA 2012/950. Use the link below to access the application form.
