Stillingstittel:
Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship in translational medicine, 1 position 100%, 3 years, at the Research Center for Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

One postdoctoral research fellowship is available in the Research Group of Obstetrics and Gynecology (RESCOG) lead by Professor Anne Cathrine Staff. The postdoc position is located at the Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Oslo University Hospital. For more information about RESCOG see link

The postdoc will be part of an inspiring research environment, working on the MATCH project: Microchimerism and maternal cardiovascular health.
In MATCH (Microchimerism and maternal cardiovascular health) we will test our original hypothesis that fetal cells that enter the maternal circulation during pregnancy, (named fetal microchimerism, FMC), is associated with cardiovascular stress markers. MATCH benefits from our established biobank containing biosamples and clinical data from pregnancy and postpartum follow-up studies several years after pregnancy. We have strong international and national multidisciplinary collaborators.
