In this fifth call, up to two postdoctoral fellowships are open to all nationalities.
The programme aims to encourage new synergies in life science with a focus on molecular and translational research, training outstanding young researchers, and stimulating cutting-edge research in Umeå. Patron for the programme is Nobel laureate Emmanuelle Charpentier, who discovered the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology during her time as a scientist and group leader in Umeå.
The ‘EC’ Postdoctoral fellow will:
- Develop a collaborative project under supervision of at least two PIs.
- Obtain a fellowship over a minimum of 21 months as well as a career development grant (25,000 SEK). In addition, the project is supported with a grant to cover running costs (320,000 SEK).
- Have access to UCMR/UPSC-affiliated core facilities and technical platforms: Research infrastructures at Umeå University.
- Get opportunities to participate in career development activities aiming at developing soft skills and at strengthening networks and collaborations in academia and industry.
- Be part of a strong postdoc community. The Umeå Postdoc Society fosters networking and organizes social and career development events.

If there are special reasons, candidates who completed their degree prior to that may also be eligible. Special reasons include absence due to illness, parental leave, appointments of trust in trade union organizations, military service, or similar circumstances, as well as clinical practice or other forms of appointment/assignment relevant to the subject area. Candidates who have worked in the lab of the main PI or Co-PI during their PhD and postdoc are not eligible.
Step 1: Application
The application should include:
- A Curriculum Vitae
- A motivation letter including research interests, qualifications, and motivation for applying for the position with the specific project idea selected from the list (max 2,000 characters with spaces)
- A publication list including both published papers and preprints with web/DOI
- A description of up to a total three (3) of your publications and/or preprints that you consider to represent your scientifically most valuable work, answering the following questions (max 3,000 characters with space):
- Why is one particular publication considered scientifically most valuable?
- What was your specific contribution(s) to this published research work?
- What was your role in the manuscript writing and publishing of the work?
- Names and contact details of at least two references
- A verified copy of doctoral degree certificate or documentation that attests completing all the requirements of the doctoral programme, including passing the dissertation defense. If not available at time of submission, a proof of completion of the doctoral degree must be submitted at the latest together with the PDF presentation one week before the final interview (see step 2 below).
The application must be submitted online. More details of each project can be found on the Umeå University website: https://www.umu.se/en/ucmr/ec-postdoc-programme/excellence-by-choice--postdoctoral-programme-in-life-science-call-5/.

Research Associate - Phage Production
Vacancy ID:
About the role
The post-holder will be based within the Becky Mayer Centre for Phage Research at the University of Leicester.
With the rise of antimicrobial resistance, novel treatments are desperately needed. Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that attack bacterial cells and offer the potential as therapeutics to treat pathogenic bacterial infections.
Your role will be to establish and optimise the pipeline for scalable phage production to produce high quality and high titre phage. You will work collaboratively with researchers in industry and academia, and independently as part of a research team to achieve defined milestones and produce high quality research as part of the wider programme.
