The Department for Reproductive Medicine at Oslo University Hospital, Norway, is seeking one full time embryologist for a permanent position. Start date is flexible, but an early start date is preferred.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a large public IVF clinic at the national hospital in Norway.

The department has an expanding research group with four full time and six part time researchers working on basic science and innovation projects. Projects include work with human oocytes and embryos, as well as animal models. The research group has recently published high impact articles, and has strong Collaborations, both nationally and internationally.

Embryologists employed in the department have excellent opportunities to participate in research projects.
