Job abstractJV_description

Applicants are invited for a 3 year position as Researcher in Cell Biology/Cellular Immunology to be based at the Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Oslo.

The candidate for this position will work on a project funded by the Norwegian Research Council enabstractJV_titled: "Membrane-cytoskeleton crosstalk for the intracellular coordination of immunity" lead by Associate Professor Cinzia Progida in collaboration with Professor Oddmund Bakke. This is a collaborative project between the Norwegian groups and Prof. Jacques Neefjes in Leiden and Prof. Michael Sheetz in Singapore. The goal of the project is to identify molecules and pathways that coordinate the interplay between cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular membrane transport, and to further characterize how this interplay regulates antigen internalization, transport and presentation as well as cell migration in dendritic cells. The project will make use of proteomics and bioinformatics to identify the network of interactions involved in this regulation. The project also depend on the use of and advanced imaging techniques such as live cell imaging/super-resolution combined with biophysical assays to study the effect of dimensional cues and substrate stiffness on intracellular transport and cytoskeletal dynamics upon antigen recognition. The laboratory of Assoc. Prof. Cinzia Progida is closely linked to the Eurobioimaging Advanced imaging node NorMIC Oslo, headed by Prof. Oddmund Bakke (https://www.mn.uio.no/ibv/english/research/sections/fyscell/infrastructure/imaging/) with access to a wide range of the latest imaging equipment and methods.

The Department of Biosciences harbors also an EM-lab, the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (NSC) and Proteomics services.
