Vitenskapelig assistent - KRF Molekylær cellebiologi - Sandvigs forskningsgruppe

Scientific assistant in Cancer Biomedicine/Nanotechnology

Department of Molecular Cell Biology - Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital

Fellowship (The Research Council of Norway – through an Inno Indigo project): 2 years and 6 months starting October 1st, 2016.

A position as a scientific assistant (vit. ass.) is available in Prof. Kirsten Sandvig's group at the Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Cancer Division, Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital. The position is funded by the The Research Council of Norway through the Inno Indigo project: “Nanoplatform-based drug delivery system: combinational therapy against breast and colorectal cancer” (collaboration with groups in Hyderabad, India and Brussels, Belgium).

The Institute for Cancer Research plays a central role within the field of cancer research both in Norway and internationally. The Institute has seven research departments and more than 320 employees. The Institute has internationally strong research groups within several fields. The position is associated with the Department of Molecular Cell Biology (http://www.ous-research.no/biochemistry/ ), and in particular with Sandvig's group (http://ous-research.no/sandvig/) Current research areas are intracellular transport and signalling, exosomes, and in vitro and in vivo studies of nanoparticles. The department consists of approximately 70 people and offers a stimulating and attractive work environment. The institute houses state-of-the art infrastructure needed for molecular biology, cell culturing, cell imaging and electron microscopy. Moreover, the department shares access to the common core facilities at Oslo University Hospital. The department is part of the Centre for Cancer Biomedicine, a Norwegian centre of excellence.

When evaluating the application, emphasis will be given to applicant's skills and personal abilities to contribute to our project. Relevant applicants will be called in for an interview.

Applications have to be sent electronically via WebCruiter.

Brief description of qualifications and activities:

The candidate will mostly perform in vitro studies with cells, but may also be involved in animal experiments. A main part of the work will be studies to reveal the mechanisms of cellular uptake of nanoparticles, and to describe their intracellular transport, biodegradation and toxic effects. The nanoparticles contain cytotoxic drugs and are aimed to be used in cancer therapy. The work will include different biochemical and cell biological techniques, including work with radioactive isotopes and various microscopes. Ability to work both independently and in a cross-functional international project group is important.

Requirements for the application:

The candidate needs to have finished at least a Master degree; candidates with a PhD are also welcome to apply. Cover letter, CV summarizing education, positions and other relevant activities, 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, working address, e-mail and telephone number).
