Stillingsbeskrivelse

About the job

The University of Oslo is offering a PhD research fellowship in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry. The position involves investigating how extracellular vesicles from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) affect the function of normal cells, including endothelial cells.

Responsibilities

Apply various experimental methods to assess whether normal cells change their phenotype to support tumor growth after exposure to OSCC-derived extracellular vesicles.
Investigate changes such as increased proliferation, modifications of intracellular Ca2+ signalling pathways, and shifts in the metabolic profile.
Produce three scientific papers and a doctoral thesis within the three-year fellowship period.

Qualifications

A Master’s degree equivalent to a Norwegian master’s degree in molecular biology, cell biology, dentistry, or a related field.
A Master’s thesis with a grade B or better in the Norwegian educational system.
Strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Publications in international peer-reviewed scientific journals are advantageous but not required.
Experience in cell culturing, standard molecular biological techniques, immunohistochemistry, -omics data analysis, and intracellular Ca2+ imaging is advantageous.

Personal qualities

Ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary scientific environment.
Self-motivation, creativity, genuine curiosity, work discipline, professional ethics, and ambition.
Strong practical and analytical skills.
Good social and collaboration skills.

We offer

A fully funded three-year PhD project with established core infrastructure.
Dedicated supervision and research training.
An interdisciplinary and internationally connected research environment.
A workplace with good development and career opportunities, welfare schemes, and up to 1.5 hours per week of exercise during working hours.
Membership in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund with beneficial pension, mortgage, and insurance arrangements.
A salary as a Doctoral Research Fellow, position code 1017, in the range of NOK 551,000 to 605,000, depending on competence and experience.
