PhD Candidate or Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Immunology (ref no 2015/2055): Oslo, Norway

A three year Fellowship position for a PhD Candidate (SKO 1017) or a Postdoctoral research Fellow (SKO 1352) with background in immunology is available at the Department of Immunology. The project is located at the research group of Professor Bjarne Bogen at the Centre for Immune Regulation (CIR), University of Oslo, Institute of Clinical Medicine. CIR is a Research Council of Norway and FOCIS Centre of Excellence (for more details, please visit the web site at www.cir.uio.no).

The purpose of the PhD Fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. The Fellowship requires admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Medicine. Appointment to a PhD research Fellowship is conditional upon admission to the Faculty’s research training programme.

The main objective of appointment to the position of Postdoctoral Fellow is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their respective area of study. No one can be appointed for more than one specified period as a Postdoctoral research Fellow at the same institution.

Job description

The position is funded by a grant from The Research Council of Norway to CIR. The project will focus on a novel mechanism for development of autoimmune disease and B cell cancers, called Id-driven T-B collaboration. (See http://www.med.uio.no/cir/english/research/groups/bogen/ for further information). In order to study this mechanism at a molecular and cellular level, Bjarne Bogen’s group has in 2014 successfully generated a new B cell Receptor (BCR) knock-in mouse. The BCR is Id+ since it expresses an Id sequence in the knocked-in variable (V) light region. Together with previously established Id-specificTCR-transgenic mice, we are now in position to study Id-driven T-B collaboration in detail with special reference to synergy of BCR ligation and Id-specific T cell help. In addition, the role of Id-driven T-B collaboration in elicitation of autoimmune disease and B cell cancers can be studied in greater depths in a physiological model. The successful applicant will join a 30-member group within an interactive multidisciplinary centre of scientists, in a strong academic environment, focusing on immune dysregulation in autoimmune disease.

The PhD Candidate/Postdoctoral research fellow is expected to take active part in the research cooperation within the project.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly motivated and structured candidate with excellent laboratory skills and good collaborative qualities.

For appointment as a PhD candidate, the applicant must hold a project-relevant Master’s degree equivalent to a Norwegian Master’s degree in the relevant field of research.

For appointment as a Postdoctoral research Fellow, the applicant must have a project-relevant PhD degree (or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree).

It is an advantage to have experience in mouse immunology, particularly cellular immunology and in vivo mouse experiments.

The candidate must be fluent in written and spoken English.
