at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics. Closing date: 23 April
2018.

The professorship in neurochemistry will be placed at the Department of
Biochemistry and Biophysiscs (DBB). Neurochemistry with molecular
neurobiology is one predominant area in research and educational at the
department. Several research groups focus on molecular aspects of
neurodegenerative mechanisms, studies of ion channels, neurotoxins,
cellular differentiation, intra- and extracellular signal transduction and
the blood-brain-barrier. A wide spectrum of analytical methods including
biochemistry, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, biophysics and
molecular biology are used and developed at the department. Other
facilities at DBB include cell culture, MST, NMR, techniques for studying
protein folding, comparative genomics crystallography, cryo-electron
microscopy, confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis.

The environment for research and education within the subject
neurochemistry with molecular neorobiology at Stockholm University also
includes scientists at the Department of Molecular Biosciences - The
Wenner-Gren Institute and the Department of Zoology. Several research
groups the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics are located at Science
for Life Laboratory. This is a national facility providing access to
advanced methods for large-scale studies of nerve cell development, e.g.
via single-cell sequencing and advanced imaging techniques. In addition the
proximity to neuroscience departments at Karolinska Institutet, provides
ample opportunities for fruitful collaborations. Furthermore, major
investments have been and are being made at Stockholm University to create
new infrastructures of relevance for neuroscience: a state-of-the-art
animal facility with unique opportunities for integrated intravital
microscopy, a cryo-EM microscope and the Stockholm University Brain Imaging
Centre, an advanced interdisciplinary infrastructure for non-clinical
research on brain function and structure.

Subject
Neurochemistry

Subject description
Neurochemistry comprises studies of the nervous system at the molecular
level.

Main responsibilities
Research, teaching and supervision.

The assessment of research skills will focus primarily on merits within the
subject area of the position.

Teaching and learning in higher education
Completed training in teaching and learning in higher education is an
advantage. An applicant who has not completed at least 15 credits of
teaching and learning in higher education and is not considered to have
otherwise acquired the corresponding knowledge should undergo such training
within the first two years of employment

Additional information
Female applicants are particularly welcome, as most professors at the
Faculty are men.

Education within neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology is mainly at
the master level, in English. However, the language of instruction in
first-cycle courses and programmes is Swedish. If the successful candidate
does not speak Swedish at the time of appointment, he/she is expected to
acquire the necessary language skills during the first two years of
