<td>The postdoctoral researcher will build and investigate
mathematical and mechanistic models of inflammatory
processes on various scales, based on dynamical data
produced from in vitro models and connected to large-scale
clinical data and OMICs data. The project is
transdisciplinary and includes business partners in the Life
Science/Pharmaceutical industry. This project is hosted by
the Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility
Center (iRiSC) at Örebro University, which, together with
the Functional Bioinformatics group, will be the main
affiliation for the position. Örebro University is one of
the most expansive universities in Sweden, and was most
recently placed as number 75 when Times Higher Education
ranked the young universities in the world, and as number 30
when looking at the citation rate per se.
Inflammation constitutes a critical component of many common
diseases, such as cancer, mental illness, autoimmune
disease, metabolic diseases, diabetes, and cardiovascular
disease. Current research reveals a profound lack of a
mechanistic understanding of different forms of
inflammation, and how these constitute specific or general
interactions with common diseases. The current position is
part of a larger project (X-HiDE) aimed at using a systems
biology approach to investigate inflammatory mechanisms.

The current position constitutes a vital part in
establishing a new attractive platform for systems biology,
which offers some unique possibilities for the postdoc. The
project X-HiDE has already secured long-term and substantial
funding - intended to found a Center of Excellence for
research in inflammatory mechanisms. The building of a new
systems biology group within X-HiDE also involves new senior
staff, and such more senior positions will open up in the
future; making X-HiDE an attractive place for a long-term
career in the field of mathematical and mechanistic
modelling. Most important, X-HiDE has an attractive network
of collaboration partners with existing systems biology
environments, involving academic partners located at, e.g.
Linköping University, Sweden, and at Rostock University,
Germany, but also major industrial partners, e.g.
AstraZeneca in Gothenburg and Wolfram MathCore in Linköping.
As part of the project, the position offers the possibility
and is encouraged to spend shorter or longer times at any of
these sites.
The position is a full-time position for a fixed term of two
years, with the possibility of applying for an additional
third year. The salary depends on the successful candidate’s
qualifications and experience.
