Stillingstittel: Postdoctor in Bioinformatics

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

Oslo University Hospital is Scandinavia-s largest hospital with more than 20,000 employees, and is a major contributor to biomedical research in Norway. A postdoctoral fellowship in epigenetic computational analysis is now available in the Dahl research group, located at the research section of the Department of Molecular Medicine. The Dahl Laboratory is seeking highly motivated postdoctoral research fellows to lead studies to understand epigenetic regulation and aberrations in 1) early embryo development and 2) in aging and rejuvenation.
A (senior) postdoctoral fellow with a strong publication record will have the opportunity to be supported for carrier advancement towards becoming a project group leader and further towards a principal investigator position.
 
The Dahl Laboratory is well positioned for conducting basic research using both mouse and patient material, as well as performing advanced clinical studies. Specific projects focus on the epigenetic reprogramming of early embryo development and its significance for human reproduction. An overarching theme is the understanding of mechanisms and epigenetic information in the passing of life from one generation to the next, building on our recent discoveries (Dahl et al., Nature 2016). Aging related projects have a focus on stem cell aging, rejuvenation after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in healthy humans and cancer. We have a particular interest in the mechanisms of aging and rejuvenation.
 
We are located in Oslo, the Norwegian capital, at campus Rikshospitalet adjacent to the large, idyllic forest/recreational area Nordmarka". Oslo offers fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities as well as urban life, and is ranked as one of the best cities in the world to live in. Go for a swim in the warm water of the Oslo fjord in the summer, paddle your kayak onto the waterfront Opera house, or hike and bike through the lush forest to your own" secluded lake. Oslo truly has four seasons and allows one to experience the beautiful colors of the autumn, go skiing from mid December to mid March - enjoying the bright white winter, and be amazed by the awakening of the nature in the spring.
