The university offers a diverse range of high-quality education and world-leading research in several scientific fields, and it is here that the groundbreaking discovery of the gene scissors CRISPR-Cas9 was made, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. At Ume\u00e5 University, everything is close by. Our cohesive campus makes it easy to meet, collaborate, and exchange knowledge, which fosters a dynamic and open culture.\nThe societal transformation and major green investments we see in northern Sweden create enormous opportunities and complex challenges. For Ume\u00e5 University, it is about conducting research about \u2013 and in the midst of \u2013 a transforming society. But also about delivering education for regions that need to expand rapidly and sustainably. This is simply where the future is being created.\nAre you interested in learning more? Read more about Ume\u00e5 University as a workplace.\nThe Faculty of Medicine is one of the largest faculties at Ume\u00e5 University and attracts many students with a comprehensive range of education in the fields of medicine, dentistry, health, and care. We offer a well-developed research infrastructure and an inspiring, dynamic environment with leading research. We see our close collaboration with the four regions in the Northern Healthcare Region as a great mutual asset for developing research and education and for ensuring the supply of our future healthcare personnel.\nDescription\nWe are seeking a motivated employee for the Department of Medical Bioscience to work on an ongoing project on the pre-clinical effects of knocking out c-Myc using chemical substances that bind to MDM2. The work includes biochemical analyses of the interaction between MDM2 and c-Myc mRNA, cell biological effects, and inhibition of tumor growth in mice.\nThe employment is fixed-term, 11 months full-time.\n\nDuties\nYour workplace is the Department of Medical Bioscience at Ume\u00e5 University. Your task as a Staff Scientist in the project involves the following:\nAnalyze how new chemical substances affect the interaction between MDM2 and c-Myc mRNA by using established in vitro protocols.\nAnalyze transcriptomic and proteomic effects in cells after c-Myc knockout.\nAnalyze effects on tumors treated with c-Myc inhibitors.\n\nOther administrative tasks may also be included, such as handling orders and presenting results to colleagues within and outside the group.\n\nQualifications\nWe are looking for you who hold a doctoral degree in medical science. You should have knowledge and experience in biochemical in vitro work with RNA-protein interactions, as well as cell biological work and RNA analyses. Experience with animal studies is a plus.\nWe are looking for you who have good communication and administrative skills, as the project involves many different parties. Strong scientific drive is expected.\nIt is an advantage if you have specific experience in molecular oncology.\nSince communication within the department\/work group takes place in both Swedish and English, we see that you have good ability to express yourself in Swedish and English in both speech and writing.\nGreat weight will be given to personal suitability.\nConditions\nYour application should contain a CV and cover letter, as well as proof of degree, and must be received by October 7, 2026.\nWe welcome your application!\nUme\u00e5 University wants to offer an equal and equitable environment where open dialogue between people with different backgrounds and perspectives forms the foundation for learning, creativity, and development.
