Duties: The Postdoctoral Research Fellow's tasks will be to research in WP2, on the theoretical robustness of summary measures of population health, such as disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) or quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Specifically, the candidate will focus on the theoretical and applied aspects concerning summary measures of population health, such as the relationship between death at the individual level and death at the population level, the modeling of lost life years due to premature death, the modeling of stillbirths, the commensurability of morbidity and mortality in summary measures, and policy relevance of different types of mortality measures. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will participate in ETHME’s research group based at a leading research centre on medical ethics
Requirements: Ph.D. in a relevant subject (such as medicine, philosophy, medical ethics, and health economics). Doctoral theses must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the doctoral thesis being approved

Duties: The Norwegian PSC Research Center (NoPSC) at the University of Oslo is dedicated to research on the chronic liver disease primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), for which affected individuals have a 20% lifetime risk of bile duct cancer. There is currently no effective treatment available for PSC, and is the most important indication for liver transplantation in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia. Advances aiming at the identification of therapeutic strategies for PSC and associated biliary tract cancer will be essential to provide better future patient care, and represent the main objective of the proposed project activities. The project holds innovation-related opportunities, depending on outcomes of planned experiments
Requirements: Applicants must hold a relevant PhD, preferably within molecular biology or medicine; Experience in relevant laboratory work is a prerequisite, ideally with complex cellular model systems such as organoids; Some computing/bioinformatics experience is an advantage, but is not a requirement; Experience with animal experiments will be an advantage, but is not a requirement

Duties: Broadly speaking, the research project aims at improving cell-based immunotherapy through a deeper understanding of the functional regulation of NK cells. The project will decipher subcellular processes in NK cells, including inter-organelle communication through ion channels, positioning and trafficking of molecules within the cell, energy usage, and how these regulate effector functions in NK cells at different time-scales. Experiments using various types of perturbations, including mechanical forces, metabolic stress and hypoxia will be implemented to identify pathways that make NK cells more resilient to the suppressive tumor microenvironment. Insights from these fundamental biological studies pave way for synthetic engineering of the functional NK cell template for off-the-shelf cell therapy
Requirements: The candidate must have a project relevant PhD; Documented subject knowledge of relevance to the area of research including imaging, immunological research, multiparameter flow cytometry and primary cell culture; Experience in synthetic biology, vector design and cell engineering is an advantage

Duties: The post falls under the wide issue of understanding the fundamental physical mechanisms driving the coupled motion of liquids, gases, and granular materials, including magnetic interactions. The researcher project's goal is to improve our understanding of how different forces, both short-range (e.g., capillary and friction forces) and long-range (e.g., viscous and gravitational forces), act in various flow regimes. These interacting forces can result in instabilities and emergence of complex patterns. We are particularly interested in frictional fluids and the relationship between fluid motion, friction, and magnetic interaction, as well as understanding the pattern formations that result. Experiments will be the primary emphasis of the research, including the development of experimental setups, design, image processing, data collecting, and analysis. The research will also incorporate theory and simulations connected to the experimental investigations
Requirements: Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in physics including statistical physics and hydrodynamics. Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Only applicants with an approved doctoral thesis and public defense are eligible for appointment; Experience with the design and execution of experiments; Extensive research experience with experiments on granular materials, and flow in porous media

Duties: In this project, which is funded by the Norwegian Cancer Society, we want to find out whether we can utilize the balance between APOBEC and uracil-DNA glycosylase activity to inhibit development of therapy resistance in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia; The work includes using gene editing tools to create cell lines with altered balance between APOBEC activity and uracil-DNA glycosylase and use these to analyze the molecular mechanisms that contribute to the development of treatment resistance
Requirements: PhD in relevant discipline (cell biology, molecular biology) Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing date. Appointment is dependent on the public defence of the doctoral thesis being approved; Interest and experience in DNA repair; Practical experience with cell biological techniques (cell lines, primary cells, organotypic cultures); Hands on experience with flow cytometry and advanced light microscopy is required; Experience with immunohistochemical techniques and gene editing tools is desirable; Experience with handling mice is desirable

Duties: The field of quantum technology (QT) aims to exploit the most exotic consequences of quantum mechanics for real-world applications, and promises massive impacts on fields ranging from communication and cryptography to sensing and computing. Importantly, quantum sensors harness the rapid interactions between quantum systems and their environment. They are expected to detect smaller changes, provide better spatial resolution, or measure physical effects that are not accessible with the sensor technology of today. Indeed, this could lead to imaging of interactions between neurons and improve our understanding of the brain, or mapping of magnetic fields for wider subsea and space exploration. However, it has been challenging to find the balance between control of the quantum state, robustness to noise, signal detection and, importantly, scalability. Thus, there is an ongoing race to discover and characterize new quantum compatible platforms that satisfy these fundamental criteria
Requirements: Master’s degree or equivalent in physics or materials science; Foreign completed degree (M.Sc.-level) corresponding to a minimum of four years in the Norwegian educational system; Solid background in semiconductor physics including experience with semiconductor processing or characterization; Strong data analysis skills, e.g., using Python or MatLab
