Stillingstittel: Researcher/Postdoctoral Fellow in Biology

Stillingsbeskrivelse:


Applications are invited for a 2-year position as Researcher/Postdoctoral Fellow in examining inter-cell electrical connectivity of neurons and cardiomyocytes derived from stem cells. The position will be shared between the group of Professor Joel Glover (https://www.med.uio.no/imb/english/people/aca/joel/index.html), based at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, and Professor William Louch (https://www.iemf.no/index.php?path=groups/&resource_id=#louch_group), at the the Institute for Experimental Medical Research (IEMR) located at Oslo University Hospital / University of Oslo.
 
Inter-cellular connectivity is essential to the complex signaling of excitable cells. While these systems are robustly established in adult cells, reproducing such organization remains challenging in both neurons and cardiomyocytes derived from stem cells. Indeed, lack of cellular maturity is seen as a significant hurdle in the realization of stem cells for both ex vivo model systems and in vivo therapeutic applications. The researcher / postdoctoral project is aimed at testing and optimizing inter-cellular coupling in stem-cell derived neurons and cardiomyocytes. The project will further seek to explore methods for manipulating cellular communication to enable exogenous pacemaking.  State-of-the-art techniques for patch-clamp and live-cell fluorescence imaging will be employed, in parallel with technical expertise available from national and international collaborators.
 
Funding will be provided from a grant from the Research Council of Norway to Professor Ilangko Balasingham (http://balasingham.com/) at the Intervention Centre, Oslo University Hospital.

Arbeidsoppgaver An experienced patch-clamper is sought with training in cellular electrophysiology, comprising voltage-clamp and/or conventional electrophysiological techniques. Parallel expertise in cellular imaging for monitoring of cellular calcium and/or voltage is considered an asset. The project will employ these skills for examination of both neurons and cardiomyocytes derived from stem cells.  
  

KvalifikasjonerApplicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian Masters or doctoral degree in Biology, Biomedical Laboratory Sciences or Medical/Health/Social subjects. We are looking for talented and highly motivated candidates of all nationalities, although fluent oral and written communication skills in English are required. Value will be placed on compatibility of the applicant's professional and personal disposition.
