Stillingstittel: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in ecotoxicology

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.Postdoctoral Research Fellow in ecotoxicology

The fellowship period is 3.5 years. Within the framework of the position 10% duties may be assigned. Starting date is 01.07.2016. No one can be appointed for more than one specified period at the same institution.

Systems toxicology aims to integrate large datasets from environmental genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) into meaningful representations of a toxic response, by using computational methods to detect enriched pathways, networks and interactions, and ultimately to develop mathematical models that can be used to predict adverse outcomes of specific exposures and mixtures. Phenotypic anchoring represents a process of determining the relationship between a particular toxicogenomic expression profile and the pathological or physiological phenotype of the organism for a particular exposure or dose and at a particular time.

Job description/ Project description:

The successful candidate will be member of a project team at UiO, partner in a national (RCN-funded) project under BIOTEK2021 “dCod 1.0: decoding systems toxicology of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) – environmental genomics for ecosystem quality monitoring and risk assessment”. The dCod consortium includes 7 Norwegian partners and 5 international partners. The work at UiOs will be integrated closely with other partners in the dCod project. The aim of the project is to generate insight into the systems biology of Atlantic cod to model effects of contaminants on growth rates and reproduction.

Qualifications:

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in ecotoxicology.

The successful candidate should have experience with experimental studies with marine organisms, preferably fish. Knowledge of and research experience with fish physiology, biomarker analyses, transcriptomics, proteomics and/or metabolomics is an advantage.

We seek a highly motivated, enthusiastic person with the ambition to gain insight and publish papers in leading, international journals. The successful candidate must be prepared to spend short periods at other Norwegian institutions than UiO for training and cooperation.

The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.
