Forskar 

At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Clinical Science, a full-time temporary position as researcher is available until 31 July 2020.

The position is part of the projects "Towards Versatility of Aquatic Production Platforms: Unlocking the Value of Nordic Bioresources (NordAqua)", financed by NordForsk, and "Precision therapy in childhood cancer" financed by Barnekreftforeningen.  

Om prosjektet/arbeidsoppgåver:

The Department of Clinical Science is one of two clinical departments at the Faculty of Medicine and covers several of the clinical disciplines within the field of medicine. There are about 250 employees at the Department of Clinical Science, which is located at the Haukeland University Hospital campus. The employees are organized in 22 research groups, three technology platforms and administration.

The Department of Clinical Science conducts medical research, supervision and teaching on a high international level. The department has important tasks in the training of new doctors, master degree programs, and PhD education within medicine and pharmacy.

The position is related to two different projects. The first aims to investigate aquatic plants and microorganisms for anti-cancer activity. In this project, parts of the work will be to test extracts for anti-cancer activity, with emphasis on acute myeloid leukemia. Further work includes extensive tests on cell panels, and to find the mechanism of action of these compounds. The studies on the mechanism of action will be in collaboration with Professor Stein Ove Døskeland, Department of Biomedicine.

The second project aims to improve the treatment of childhood cancer. Here, two approaches will be investigated: New ways to use already existing treatment, and nanocarriers to improve therapeutic response and to minimize toxic side-effects. The work will be to test new possible treatments on cell lines, and also patients cells from other partners in the project. New drug formulations will also be developed.

It desired that the candidate will be actively taking part in meetings, planning of experiments, and writing of reports connected to both projects. It is also expected that the candidate is involved in supervision of master students and PhD candidates.

The main work tasks connected to the position are:

• Planning and execution of cell biology experiments, including testing a large number of samples for cytotoxicity (HTS)
• Advanced cell experiments to elucidate mechanism of action
• Bioactivity-guided extraction of bioactive substances/toxins
• Formulation of drugs
• Writing reports and scientific papers
• The work will be in close collaboration with researchers in drug formulation, drug development, natural product chemistry, and clinicians
• The candidate will be part of two different research projects, and it is expected that he/she will participate on meetings and seminars connected to these projects

Kvalifikasjonar og eigenskapar:

• the applicant must hold a relevant Norwegian PhD or equivalent doctoral degree
• the successful applicant must have experience in cell biology research and / or drug development
• researchers who have experience in cancer research are particularly welcome to apply for this position
• knowledge in methods in cell biology research, such as flow-cytometry, western blotting and work with primary cells is an advantage
• experience in counseling, teaching, writing manuscripts and preferentially also grant applications is an advantage
• personal skills, including abilities to work independently and cooperate within a research group will be evaluated
• the applicant must be motivated and responsible, and also have a great work capacity and enthusiasm for research
