Project Overview
2-year postdoctoral fellowship in experimental research on musculotendinous system at Umeå University. Full-time, starts 1 Nov 2026 or by agreement. Apply by 1 Oct 2026.
Project Description
The Department of Medical and Translational Biology at Umeå University offers a postdoctoral fellowship in experimental research focusing on the musculotendinous system. The scholarship is full-time for two years, beginning 1 November 2026 or by agreement. Application deadline is 1 October 2026.
Research Focus
The project investigates mechanisms regulating tendon healing and the functional communication between muscle and tendon cells. The aim is to characterize factors within the muscle cell secretome during mechanical loading and unloading, and to elucidate their role in tendon healing and underlying signaling pathways.
Key Techniques
- Establishment, isolation, culture, and differentiation of primary human muscle, tendon, and inflammatory cells.
- In vitro models for mechanical loading of muscle cells.
- Three-dimensional in vitro models for tendon formation and healing.
- Omics techniques including RNA sequencing and proteomics.
- Protein analyses: Western blot, ELISA.
- Gene expression analysis: qPCR.
