A three-year PhD research fellowship position is open in Haapaniemi group, located at NCMBM (Norwegian Centre for Molecular Biociences and Medicine) in University of Oslo & Oslo University hospital.
The aim of the Haapaniemi group (www.haapaniemilab.org) is to build a CRISPR-based gene editing platform that can correct patient-specific mutations in ex vivo cell therapies for genetic immune diseases. We focus on correcting blood stem cells for curative therapy and T cells as a salvage therapy for infections and immunodysregulation. We aim to build correction technologies that fit to a wide spectrum of mutations in diverse genes, as opposed to focusing on a specific gene or disease.
The work tasks concentrate on optimizing and scaling up protocols for efficient mutation correction in human T cells and hematopoietic stem cells, and transplanting cells to mouse models. We use both patient samples and healthy control cells. Example tasks:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and hard-working scientist with a Masters degree or equivalent in life sciences. We prioritize candidates with work experience in academic or private research environments, in the fields of stem cell biology, immunology, gene editing or high-throughput screening. The research fellow will take part in an approved PhD program at the University of Oslo and is expected to complete the project within the set fellowship period, leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. Fluent oral and written communication skills in English are mandatory.
Employment in the position is based on a comprehensive assessment of all qualification requirements applicable to the position, including personal qualifications.
Inclusion and diversity are a strength. The University of Oslo has a personnel policy objective of achieving a balanced gender composition. Furthermore, we want employees with diverse professional expertise, life experience and perspectives.
If there are qualified applicants with disabilities, employment gaps or immigrant background, we will invite at least one applicant from each of these categories to an interview.
We hope that you will apply for the position.
