About the position and project

We have a vacancy for a laboratory technician position at Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science (INB). The position is a temporary, 1-year, full-time (100%) position, with possibility of extension.

The position is based in the Sandvig lab, Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science, NTNU, and will be integrated with the recently established -Translational Neuroscience-clinical academic research group (CARG).

The translational neuroscience CARG was established in January 2019 and aims to integrate ongoing research activities between NTNU/St Olavs hospital. The initial focus of the CARG is neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer-s disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The CARG represents a collaboration between different research teams at INB, KIN/CNC, IKOM, and IDI at NTNU, and the Department of Neurology at St Olav-s Hospital.

The laboratory technician position is part of the Sandvig group. The main research interest in our lab is the study and elucidation of axonal and synaptic plasticity in the context of CNS function, damage, and repair. Ongoing research activities thus focus on CNS disease modelling through the application of advanced interdisciplinary methods and principles. These include morphogenetic neuroengineering, electrophysiology, neural computation, in vitro, in vivo, and computational models, to elucidate, predict, and modify morphology-activity relationships underlying normal and perturbed neural network function.

Our laboratory consists of an international team of enthusiastic neurobiologists, psychologists, and clinicians. We collaborate with a number of inter- and crossdisciplinary research teams including the Department of Computer Science (IDI), NTNU, the Department of Molecular Medicine (IKOM), NTNU, the Kavli Institute of Neuroscience, Centre for Neural Computation (KIN/CNC), NTNU, Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), and the Department of Neurology, St Olavs Hopsital, Trondheim.
