Stillingstittel: Assistant Director

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

The overall objective of NCMM is to conduct cutting-edge research in molecular medicine and facilitate translation of discoveries in basic medical research into clinical practice. NCMM focuses particularly on disease mechanisms where Norway has clear strengths, develops and adapts technologies for personalized medical applications and has unraveled new diagnostic methods and drug targets. NCMM has established 6 new groups where outstanding early-stage Group Leaders have been identified in international calls and selected using quality criteria and methods of assessment as for recruitment to EMBL Group Leader positions. Research groups within NCMM are studying cancer, immune diseases as well as neurodegeneration and inflammatory diseases. These studies are underpinned by the application of technology platforms including high-throughput sequencing to interrogate chromatin architecture and transcriptomes, functional genomics including genome-editing strategies to perturb and reprogram experimental models and chemical biology platforms for the identification of novel therapeutics. Drug development and functional characterization of molecular targets are also augmented by structural biology expertise within the Centre (see NCMM website for more information and fit with research profiles of existing NCMM groups as well as the adjoining Biotechnology Centre organized with the same model, www.biotek.uio.no).

NCMM is now seeking an outstanding candidate for the position of:

Assistant Director and Group Leader, combined with adjunct Professor / Associate Professor in Medicine

Applications are invited for the open position as NCMM Assistant Director. The successful candidate is expected to initiate a new independent research program with a clear relevance to molecular medicine and disease mechanisms and with significant translational opportunities. The research should consolidate existing research within the Centre by providing natural interfaces for collaboration. In addition to running an active research program as PI, the Assistant Director will, together with the Director, play a key role in the successful day-to-day operation of NCMM as well as contribute to developing NCMM research strategies, scientific excellence and cutting-edge infrastructures at the Centre. The position requires scientific leadership and mentoring experience. The ideal candidate also has an international network of collaborators and has a proven track-record in raising research funding and pursuing translational research. Relatively broad scientific interests, from research motivated in the clinics to basic sciences, are an advantage, and previous experience in research policy development and administration will also be evaluated positively.

To facilitate translation and collaboration, NCMM plans for all group leaders to have adjunct researcher appointments in university hospital departments. In addition, the Assistant Director position will be combined with a part-time Professor II/Associate Professor position (20%) at the Institute for Clinical Medicine.

We expect multi-disciplinary research collaborations within NCMM, with the internationally recognized biomedical research environment in Norway as well as within the Nordic EMBL Partnership.

Regarding the adjunct Professor position (20%)

The professorial duties include teaching in accordance with the needs of the Medical Faculty within the guidelines for working hours in professorial positions. The main position and the part time position are combined. It is a requisition that the position holder attends to both positions. If the main position is left, the part time
