Research Coordinator in the Division of Molecular Metabolism Full-time NEW

Research Coordinator in the Division of Molecular Metabolism

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

We are recruiting one full-time research coordinator to support the research groups led by Florian Rosenberger and Anna Wredenberg. Based in the Division of Molecular Metabolism, you will be the day-to-day point of contact for both groups, helping researchers organise their work and track deadlines and practical needs.

Your role

You will coordinate work across the two groups and plan your own work around their priorities. The role combines research administration, lab organisation and support for colleagues. Depending on your expertise, you may also contribute to experimental work.

• Coordinate lab meetings and retreats and help organise on-site international conferences.
• Coordinate submissions of manuscripts, grant applications and research data.
• Support public engagement by maintaining group websites and preparing presentation materials.
• Handle invoices and prepare expense claims.
• Order supplies, keep lab spaces organised and help with lab tasks and the development of techniques and protocols.
• Introduce new group members to local routines and help colleagues with practical matters

Your profile

We welcome applicants with a master's, licentiate or doctoral degree and research experience in biomedicine, molecular biology or a related field. We are looking for someone interested in both research and research administration. Experience with similar duties in a university setting is an advantage.

• Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to plan and prioritise your own work across two groups.
• Excellent English and good computer skills.
• Sound judgement and discretion when handling unpublished results, applications and personal matters.
• A helpful, collaborative approach to working with colleagues in an international and multidisciplinary environment.
• Knowledge of Swedish is an advantage.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. We are looking for a motivated and creative colleague with an interest in our research areas, who can work independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team culture.

Your research environment

The Division of Molecular Metabolism is part of the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet. We study how mitochondria function and how changes in mitochondrial function contribute to disease and ageing. We develop mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods and use patient samples and model systems to study disease progression and identify potential targets for intervention.

You will work in Biomedicum on the Solna campus, in an environment that connects basic research with clinical research and diagnostics at the Centre for Inherited Metabolic Diseases (CMMS) at Karolinska University Hospital. As a state university, Karolinska Institutet offers benefits under a collective agreement, including access to on-site wellness facilities.
