Postdoc: ER-Phagy & Cancer Mechanisms

EURAXESS Ireland; Oslo; Hybrid; NOK 550,000 - 700,000; Full time

Job summary

University of Oslo invites applications for a Recognised Researcher (R2) postdoc to investigate ER-phagy and its role in cancer progression. The project builds on image-based siRNA screens to identify regulators of ER-phagy.

The successful candidate will conduct molecular biology experiments (cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, protein expression and interaction analysis) and may supervise students, embracing independent and collaborative work within the project timeframe.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience in experimental lab work in molecular cell biology.
• Experience with cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and protein expression.
• Ability to perform light microscopy and cancer assays.
• Experience in autophagy or intracellular trafficking is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Investigate molecular mechanisms of ER-phagy in cancer progression.
• Perform image-based siRNA screens and related assays.
• Collaborate with the team and supervise students when applicable.
