Postdoc

Postdoctoral position

A postdoctoral position is available at the Department of Biochemistry at the Institute for Cancer Research and Centre for Cancer Biomedicine at Oslo University Hospital (Oslo, Norway).

The research group is member of a Centre of Excellence, Centre for Cancer Biomedicine, and has strong collaboration with clinically oriented cancer researchers. The group is internationally oriented and has members of nine different nationalities. Some members of the group study cancer cells and normal cells in culture and other group members use the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The group has special expertise in microscopy of living and fixed cells and runs two of Norway's most prominent facilities within confocal and electron microscopy. The laboratory is located in the modern research building at the Institute for Cancer Research.

Arbeidsoppgaver

• The overall aim of the research project is to elucidate molecular mechanisms of cytokinesis, the final step of cell division, in development and carcinogenesis. The candidate will study roles of endocytic regulators in cell division and cytokinesis using Drosophila melanogaster and human cell culture as model systems. The project will apply genetic, molecular biological, cell biological and biochemical approaches as well as advanced microscopy.

Kvalifikasjoner

• We are seeking a candidate with a PhD degree, a strong background in molecular and cell biology, Drosophila genetics and cell imaging, excellent written and oral communication skills and fluency in English, as well as an ability to work independently and as a member of a team.

Egenskaper

• Candidates with research experience within cell division/cytokinesis are encouraged to apply.
• Please send a cover letter, CV, publication list and summary of research activities as well as contact details of at least two referees by e-mail to Dr Kaisa Haglund
