3 postdoctoral and 1 PhD fellowships in cross-disciplinary research on organoid/gastruloid morphogen | University of Oslo

2 years 1 month ago
Oslo, Norway, The positions are part of the UiO: Life Science convergence environment “ Integrated technologies for tracking organoid morphogenesis ” (ITOM). Embryonic stem cell (ESC) technology has allowed the development of organoids/gastruloids that show features of organ induction, but lack further maturation and show large variations. The field, therefore, requires high-content tracking tools and algorithms to guide organoid/gastruloid development. The project will use advanced correlative imaging technologies, data analysis and mathematical modelling to guide the differentiation of ESC-derived organoids/gastruloids . The ITOM project unites three different Centres of Excellence in the Oslo area: HTH-CoE , Njord-CoE , and RITMO-CoE .. As such, the candidate will be part of a large and closely interacting interdisciplinary team of basic scientists, developmental biologists, chemists, physicists, computational scientists, and rhythm researchers. For a full description of the 4 positions and how to apply: Postdoctoral fellowship in organoid/gastruloid motion analysis Postdoctoral fellowship in modelling of organoid/gastruloid morphogenesis PhD research fellowship in bioanalytical chemistry Postdoctoral fellowship in bioinformatics for analyzing organoid/gastruloid development We offer: a competitive salary level a professionally stimulating working environment membership in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund attractive welfare benefits About the University of Oslo  The University of Oslo is Norway’s oldest and highest ranked educational and research institution, with 28 000 students and 7500 employees.
