Three postdoc positions in Affinity Proteomics
School of Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health at KTH
Job description
The Division of Affinity Proteomics | KTH at the Department of Protein Science at SciLifeLab is recruiting three postdocs to work on various aspects of affinity proteomics for multiplex protein and antibody profiling of human body fluids.
