Det humanistiske fakultet lyser ut stilling som instituttleder (SKO1475) ved Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie (uio.no). Ansettelse skjer på åremål for perioden 2025-28.

Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie (IAKH) har hundre og tretti ansatte, herav førtisyv faste vitenskapelige ansatte, femtiåtte midlertidige vitenskapelige ansatte og tjuefem i administrasjonen, inkludert formidlingsenheten Norgeshistorie og instituttleder. I tillegg kommer tretten eksterne tilknyttede stipendiater.

Instituttet har ca. åtte hundre programstudenter fordelt på en årsenhet (i historie), tre bachelorprogrammer (i arkeologi, i konservering og i historie) og fem masterprogrammer (i arkeologi, i konservering og i historie). To av de tre masterprogrammene i historie er engelskspråklige; Modern International and Transnational History og European History (sistnevnte er en del av et europeisk universitetskonsortium). I tillegg samarbeider IAKH med andre enheter på UiO om det tverrfaglige bachelorprogrammet Internasjonale studier, det engelskspråklige masterprogrammet Viking and Medieval Studies og profesjonsstudiet Lektorprogrammet. På doktorgradsnivå organiserer instituttet forskerskoler i både arkeologi og historie.

Arkeologi har i lengre tid vært et faglig prioritert felt ved Det humanistiske fakultet, konserveringsstudiet ved IAKH er landets eneste og historie er fakultetets største fag. IAKH sin forskning, undervisning og formidling har som ambisjon å tilføre samfunnet vitenskapelig fundert innsikt i historie, kulturhistorie og kulturarv. 

Norgeshistorie fungerer som instituttets nettsted og formidlingsenhet til alle landets videregående skoler og til nasjonal kringkasting. De langsiktige målene til instituttet er nedfelt i strategidokumentet “IAKH2030".

IAKH utdanner kandidater til skoleverket, museer og offentlig forvaltning og kulturinstitusjoner, og også til organisasjonslivet og privat næringsliv. Instituttet samarbeider med partnere både innenfor og utenfor UiO, ikke minst i arkiv-, museums- og kulturminnesektoren, blant annet gjennom det HF-prioriterte feltet The Heritage Experience Initiative (HEI) og det tverrfaglig praksisemne Bærekraftslaboratoriet. På undervisningssiden arbeider instituttet målrettet med å videreutvikle undervisningstilbudet, blant annet med bruk av læringsassistenter. Både i forskning og undervisning har IAKH en klar ambisjon om å heve den digitale kompetansen. 

Den eksternfinansierte virksomheten utgjør en betydelig del av instituttet, og IAKH er blant annet vert for hele fire ERC-prosjekter, seks NFR-prosjekter og en rekke andre prosjekter med ulike nasjonale og internasjonale finansieringsorgan. Årlig sendes det om lag tretti søknader til ekstern finansiering fra IAKH. Instituttet har opprettet tolv forskergrupper, hvor de vitenskapelig ansatte står fritt til å delta i så mange som er aktuelle, for å diskutere og utvikle forskningsfeltet til den spesifikke gruppen.

Det humanistiske fakultet lyser ut stilling som instituttleder (SKO 1475) ved Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk (uio.no). Ansettelse skjer på åremål for perioden 2025-28.

Institutt for litteratur, områdestudier og europeiske språk (ILOS) er et av de største ved Det humanistiske fakultet og har ca. 140 ansatte hvorav ca. 80 i faste vitenskapelige stillinger, ca. 30 stipendiater og ti postdoktorer og 17 personer i administrative stillinger. Den administrative staben ledes av administrativ leder. ILOS har til enhver tid omtrent 300 masterstudenter og 1000 bachelorstudenter.

Instituttets ansatte driver omfattende forskning, undervisning og samfunnskontakt innen litteraturvitenskap, områdekunnskap og språkvitenskap knyttet til europeiske språk utenom de nordiske. Mange av instituttets ansatte bidrar til det offentlige ordskiftet med innsikter fra faget sitt, og instituttet har en ambisjon om å utvikle samfunnskontakten sin ytterligere. ILOS har et levende forskningsmiljø med mange sterke og produktive enkeltforskere og en bred internasjonal samarbeidsflate. Instituttet ønsker samtidig å styrke de ansattes evne til å hente inn eksternt finansierte forskningsprosjekter.

Instituttets studiefag er organisert i åtte fagmiljøer som til sammen tilbyr mange hundre emner. Instituttet er også en sentral bidragsyter til UiOs lektorprogram innen engelsk, fransk, spansk og tysk. ILOS ser det som en sentral oppgave å øke gjennomføringen på både emne- og gradsnivå. Nedgang i søkertall til studiene og mindre bevilgninger gjør at instituttet nå er i en omstillingsprosess. Noen endringer i studieporteføljen er allerede igangsatt, og det vil være behov for flere.

Administrasjon og ledelse går på tvers av fagmiljøene. ILOS’ basisvirksomhet har et årsbudsjett på cirka 90 millioner, og i tillegg kommer inntekter fra eksternfinansiert virksomhet på cirka 10 millioner.

Position as PhD Research Fellow in telomere stability and cancer available at the Department of Microbiology, Division of Laboratory Medicine, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of OsloUniversity of Oslo.

The intended last starting date is June 1st , 2024 or as soon as possible. The fellowship period is 3 years.

development of cancer requires pre-cancerous cells to evolve ways to circumvent the limited replicative lifespan of human somatic cells. In up to 80–90% of cancers this is mediated by overexpression of the telomerase multiprotein-RNA complex, which elongates chromosomal ends using an RNA template.

Although targeting the telomerase pathway is a promising strategy for cancer treatment, to date, no pharmacological options for disrupting oncogenic telomerase activity have been approved for regulatory use, despite significant advancements in this field. However, we have recently demonstrated that deficiency specific DNA damage proteins leads to defects in RNA quality control, which affects the stability of the telomerase RNA-component, conferring telomere dysfunction and cellular growth arrest. The key knowledge need is to translate this finding into a therapeutic application.

A 2-year postdoctoral position in computational cancer biology is available at the University of Oslo (UiO) and Oslo University Hospital (OUS). The position is part of the recently funded project "Gene regulatory networks of tumor heterogeneity and metastatic progression of colorectal cancer." The project is a collaboration between the Computational Oncology group led by Anita Sveen at the Institute for Cancer Research, OUS (see https://www.ous-research.no/sveen for more information) and the Computational Biology and Systems Medicine group led by Marieke Kuijjer at the Centre for Molecular Medicine Norway (NCMM), UiO, Nordic EMBL partner (see https://www.kuijjerlab.org/ for more information). The successful candidate will be embedded in both groups. The ideal project starting date is in spring 2024, but a potential later starting date can be discussed.

The Sveen group is part of an interdisciplinary translational research program for colorectal cancer at OUS. An overarching theme of our research is to model tumor heterogeneity and its clinical impact based on DNA/RNA sequencing of multiple tissue samples from primary and metastatic tumors. We also have a platform for drug screening of pre-clinical models, and we integrate molecular and pharmacological data to develop new precision cancer medicine strategies.

The Kuijjer group was established in 2018 and focuses on developing computational and data science approaches to expand our understanding of gene regulation and how rewiring of gene regulatory networks can influence cancer development, progression, and disease heterogeneity. Amongst others, the group's current projects leverage approaches from network science and machine learning in tool development for (1) modeling of regulatory interactions at bulk and single-cell resolution, (2) integration of regulatory networks with multi-omics data, (3) fine-tuned analysis of genome-wide regulatory networks. The group applies these tools to study solid tumors, including colorectal cancer in this project.

The joint project aims to identify the regulatory mechanisms of spatiotemporal tumor heterogeneity in colorectal cancer. The selected candidate will apply and combine computational tools to model gene regulatory networks in transcriptomics data. Tumor heterogeneity will be evaluated in multiregional samples of primary tumors and in multiple metastases from each patient. Drug target potential will be analyzed in a living biobank of tumor organoids screened for sensitivity to anticancer drugs. The proposed postdoc candidate will be trained in computational analyses and collaborate in an interdisciplinary translational research environment with bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, cell biologists, and clinical researchers. All needed infrastructure is established, and computational tools and molecular data are available.

We seek a highly motivated candidate with a track record in computational analysis of high-throughput genomics data. The candidate should be excited about applying computational tools to answer questions in systems cancer medicine. The ideal candidate is collaborative and creative, and has strong programming skills dedicated to the analysis of large-scale genomics data.

Despite the success of immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) less than 30 % of patients with established solid tumors benefit from this treatment suggesting that there are additional mechanisms regulating tumor immune evasion. It is now evident that immune suppressive protein kinase A (PKA) triggers tumor immune rejection and promotes T cell dysfunction and ICT failure in solid tumors. We have identified a unique PKA in immune cells, and shown that tumor-bearing mice genetically ablated for this PKA form have increased numbers of proinflammatory immune cells in their solid tumors and that these animals are protected from tumor growth and metastatic potential. Based on these facts we wish to «Target immune cell-specific PKA in order to enhance immune checkpoint therapeutics”.

The research fellow must take part in the Faculty’s approved PhD program and is expected to complete the project within the set fellowship period. The main purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.

A 3-year position in a Research Fellowship as PhD candidate is available at the Section for Biochemistry, Department for Molecular Medicine, Institute for Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Oslo. The position is associated with the «membrane trafficking» group led by Assoc. Prof. Kay Oliver Schink.

The Schink lab is looking for a highly motivated PhD student to work on the molecular mechanisms of membrane organisation and the role of dysregulated membrane trafficking for cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

Our research focusses on membrane trafficking, where we study the molecular mechanisms of how vesicles are formed and how they get their correct identity. Moreover, we are interested in how dysregulation of membrane transport processes contributes to diseases such as cancer and infectious diseases. A key focus of our studies is the role of macropinocytosis as a nutrient scavenging route in cancer cells. In addition, we are studying how membrane trafficking contributes to cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

In this project, we will investigate how cells can establish and control the identity of their endomembranes, and how changes in these membrane transport processes can allow cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

The candidate will:

• Characterize how cells ensure that newly formed vesicles gain the correct membrane identity markers. To this end, the candiate will generate fluorescently tagged cell lines, use advanced life cell microscopy to track endocytic trafficking in 3D, and use a CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screen to identify key regulators of membrane organisation.
• Characterize how changes in membrane trafficking – especially macropinocytosis - can allow cells to adapt to confined environments and allow them to effectively migrate and form metastases. A key aspect of this subproject will be to study how cells reorganize their membrane system in response to physical constraints to allow effective cell migration, e.g. in a tumor setting.

The candidate will join a young and enthusiastic team of scientists working at the cutting edge of molecular cell biology. We use state-of-the-art molecular cell biology and genetic techniques and combine these methods with advanced life cell microscopy, single cell light sheet microscopy and super resolution microscopy.

Depending on the candidate, the position can be expanded to 4 years by including 25% teaching and supervision tasks.

The research fellow must take part in the Faculty’s approved PhD program and is expected to complete the project within the set fellowship period. The main purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree.

• A master’s degree in molecular cell biology, biochemistry or equivalent. The Master’s degree must have a minimum grade B (ECTS grading scale) or equivalent, and include a thesis of at least 30 ECTS
• A strong drive for fundamental mechanistic cell biology research
• The ability to take scientific initiatives and troubleshoot complex challenges
• Excellent communication skills, including proficiency in spoken and written English
• Work experience in molecular and cell biology, especially experience in molecular cloning, lentiviral gene delivery, CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing and related techniques, as well as experience with advanced fluorescence microscopy and image processing will be a major advantage
• The working language of the lab is English, and excellent communication skills in English are required

• Motivation for the position and commitment to carry out high-level research
• Eagerness to integrate and work in a versatile and cross-disciplinary team
• Good presentation skills
• Capability to design and perform experiments
• Good organizational skills
• Capability to work both independently and as a team player

• Salary NOK 532 200 – 575 400 per annum depending on qualifications in a position as PhD Research fellow, (position code 1017)

• Attractive welfare benefits and a generous pension agreement, in addition to Oslo’s family-friendly environment with its rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities

The application must include

• cover letter statement of motivation and research interests
• CV (summarizing education, positions and academic work)
• copies of educational certificates (academic transcripts only)
• a complete list of publications and academic works
• list of reference persons: 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and phone number)

1-2 full-time Doctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1017) in Art History and Visual Studies are available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo.

These positions form part of the European Research Council-funded Consolidator project ECOART – An Ecological History of Eurasian Art: Natural Resources, Aesthetic Practices, and Early Modern Globalization, which will consist of a team of Principal Investigator Anna Grasskamp, three doctoral research fellows and two post-doctoral research fellows. The project investigates the artistic use and visual representation of geographical, geological, botanical, zoological, and climatic resources in Eurasia, a space dominated by European and Chinese economic spheres of influence, in an era of early modern globalization from 1500 to 1800. Funding for fieldwork, archival research, conference attendance and publications will be available to all members of the project.

(1) Doctoral Research Fellowship in the Artistic Use and Visual Representation of Geological Resources

Doctoral Research Fellowship 1 is available for a dissertation project that focuses on the artistic use and visual representation of geological resources during a timespan within the early modern period from at least two of the following sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. The focus of the dissertation will be a comprehensive investigation of the extraction, exchange, and artistic uses of one or more geological resources in local and global contexts across early modern Eurasia, for example through extant artifacts that implement mined goods as well as visual documentations of mining itself. The dissertation will tackle how selected geological resources informed aesthetic practices across Eurasia and how knowledge on minerals, clays, gemstones, or other mined goods was developed and articulated in art and artisanship. Possible examples include but are not limited to mined pigments like cinnabar and cobalt in art across Eurasia, for example in paintings on porcelain created in places that range from Jingdezhen and Guangzhou in China to Delft in the Netherlands; Sri Lankan rubies used by Indian, European, and Chinese craftsmen in the making of collectible and wearable objects, for example crowns; American-mined silver transported to India and China via Manila by the Spanish as currency to be partially melted and reused by silversmiths, for example in the crafting of elaborate pieces of jewellery.

(2) Doctoral Research Fellowship in the Artistic Use and Visual Representation of Botanical Resources

Doctoral Research Fellowship 2 is available for a dissertation project that focuses on the artistic use and visual representation of botanical resources during a timespan within the early modern period from at least two of the following sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. The dissertation will examine the artistic use and representation of widespread botanical resources like pine timber, which was used in sculptures and the crafting of furniture, or site-specific ones like the resin of the Asian lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum), a key component of painted, carved, and inlayed lacquerware sculptures, paintings, and artifacts. The dissertation project will explore how selected botanical resources informed aesthetic practices across Eurasia and how knowledge about plant- based artistic materials shaped artistic and artisanal epistemologies. Possible examples include but are not limited to Indian indigo dyes used in batik and paintings on textiles across Eurasia; amber from Asia and Europe used in Eurasian artifacts, e.g., Chinese snuff bottles; the resin of the Asian lacquer tree used in lacquerware sculptures, paintings, and artifacts made in East Asia and Southeast Asia (and which were imitated in Europe).

1-2 Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SKO 1352) are available in the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, at the University of Oslo.

The positions are associated with the European Research Council-funded Consolidator project ECOART – An Ecological History of Eurasian Art: Natural Resources, Aesthetic Practices, and Early Modern Globalization, which will consist of a team of Principal Investigator Anna Grasskamp, three doctoral research fellows and two post-doctoral research fellows. The project investigates the artistic use and visual representation of geographical, geological, botanical, zoological, and climatic resources in Eurasia, a space dominated by European and Chinese economic spheres of influence, in an era of early modern globalization from 1500 to 1800. Funding for fieldwork, archival research, conference attendance and publications will be available to all members of the project.

(1) Post-doctoral Research Fellowship in Early Modern Art and Geographic Resources

Access to waterways allowed local craft communities to engage with resources from far away, while panoramic views inspired visual artists. Artists and artisans across Eurasia have articulated the agency of certain sites over humans, for example in the case of sacred sites where natural miracles were believed to have taken place, while contributing to period conceptualizations and visualizations of land- and seascapes as objects of knowledge. The person filling in this position will investigate the artistic impact on and representation of geographic resources during the early modern period in at least three of the project’s six key sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. His/her methodology will be informed by geoaesthetics, a critical frame to analyze artistic and artisanal practices as shaped by human interaction with resources. Potential case studies include representations of bodies of water, for example Hangzhou’s West Lake or Gujarat’s Bay of Surat; landscape paintings by traveling artists like William Hodges, who accompanied James Cook’s journeys, or those by Ming literati artists who traveled extensively in search of painterly landscapes; geoaesthetics of sacredness in relation to Buddhist sites and Catholic belief systems across Eurasia.

(2) Post-doctoral Research Fellowship in Early Modern Art and Climatic Resources

While climatic resources such as the interplay between hot temperatures and humidity allow for the cultivation of and creative engagement with certain materials, for example enabling sericulture to produce silk, they discourage others. Furthermore, artistic concepts of climatic resources have been articulated through symbolic depictions of the forces of wind, water, and sunlight during the Little Ice Age (ca. 1550–1850) due to cooling and mountain glacier expansion in some (though not all) regions of the world. Asia’s monsoon climate has a profound impact on the region and its life-threatening powers have been depicted in representations of flooding and shipwrecks and in allegorical and symbolic ways. The work of this post-doctoral fellowship project asks how the forces of wind and water during the wet season were conceptualized in art and artisanship across Eurasia; it will study the representation of the harnessing of climatic elements for human purposes across at least three of the project’s six sites: Gujarat, Manila, Jakarta/Batavia, Yangon (formerly Dagon, and, under colonial rule, Rangoon), Guangzhou/Canton, Amsterdam. Potential case studies include symbolic representations of the forces of water in paintings and sculptures of dragons across Eurasia; anthropomorphic representations of wind in Indian and Chinese Buddhist imagery of aerial deities; artistic depictions of the impact of the monsoon season on seafaring.

The positions are available for a period of 3.5 years. These are full-time research positions with no additional teaching duties.

The successful candidate(s) is/are expected to become part of the research environment/network of the department and contribute to its development. The main purpose of postdoctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in higher academic positions within their disciplines.

• PhD or equivalent academic qualifications with a specialization in the History of Asian Art
• The candidate's research project must be closely connected to the main project

Applicants are invited to apply for a Postdoctoral Fellow position (SKO 1352) at the Department of Sociology and Human Geography. The position is for a period of three years; a four-year contract including 25 % teaching duties may also be negotiated. The position involves developing conceptual and methodological tools for understanding how uncertainty shapes trajectories of change in renewable energy projects. The work brings together thinking on uncertainty and energy justice from across disciplines, with a primary focus on methodological development.

The position is central within an interdisciplinary Thematic Research Group (TRG), UNRULY SUSTAINABILITY: Unruly Sustainability Challenges: addressing uncertainty in governing energy transitions, funded by UiO:Energy and the Environment. Theoretically, the UNRULY SUSTAINABILITY project examines ‘chaotic’ processes, those without stable probability patterns, to probe material and epistemic uncertainties, or what the project defines as ‘unruly’ processes. Dynamics that underpin energy justice concerns rarely exhibit stable probability patterns. Assuming they do can lead to failed outcomes—like dams bursting or further marginalising vulnerable people. The project aims to generate new methodologies for evaluating how uncertainty shapes energy justice concerns and outcomes of renewable energy projects.

UiO:Energy’s TRGs contribute to their goals of addressing challenges related to energy, climate and environment. The UNRULY SUSTAINABILITY TRG team is comprised of colleagues from University of Oslo representing three different faculties (Social Science, Mathematics, Humanities), along with international affiliate researchers, and an advisory board of international academic leaders.

The work builds from theoretical advances in geography, STS and cognate disciplines on reframing ontologies of ‘environment’ and ‘society’. The project starts from these insights and seeks to advance methodological approaches that take these ontological advances seriously. The project aims to develop new ways of approaching problems of risk and uncertainty in dynamic contexts. Empirical examples from Norway, Hungary, Nepal and Zambia ground the work.

The postdoctoral fellow will be dedicated to methodological development, with a starting point in methods that share concerns with scale, temporality and change, and show excellent potential for thinking about risk and chaos. The postdoctoral fellow will be centrally involved in the methodological development aspects, including working with an acoustics analysis team and stochastic mathematics. Other potential methodologies, including story-telling and visual methods, will also be considered by the team.

At the Department of Sociology and Human Geography, the fellow will be part of the research group on Sustainable Transformations, which provides a stimulating scientific context for research on environment-society and sustainability challenges. They will also be part of the Risk and Stochastics group at the Department of Mathematics (Professor Giulia Di Nunno) and the Oslo School of Environmental Humanities at the Musicology Department (Professor Kyle Devine). The project includes a close collaboration with the Environmental Systems Analysis at Chalmers Institute of Technology (Dr. Helene Ahlborg), the Nordic Soundscapes Network (Dr. Rose Keller), and the K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at Cornell University (Dr. Aaron Rice). The position includes opportunities for research exchanges at these institutions.

Contact Prof. Andrea Nightingale for a copy of the project proposal. The project activities will all be conducted in English.

Required skills

• Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in either Geography, Science and Technology Studies (STS), (Socio)Environmental Systems Analysis, Environmental Studies, or cognate disciplines.

A 3-year position as Ph.D. Fellow is available at the Center for Lifespan Changes in Brain and Cognition (LCBC), at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo. The position will fit a talented candidate highly interested in applying longitudinal, multimodal models on human neuroimaging data. The primary objective of the project is to uncover associations of early life factors, including in-utero exposure to drugs, such as opioids, and brain and cognitive function from early life stages into adulthood.

The goal of LCBC is to understand differences and changes in brain and cognition through the entire lifespan, as well as how brain and cognition can be optimized. LCBC is an active multidisciplinary research center, with a staff of about 25 full-time positions, including six faculty professors/researchers, several PostDocs and Ph.D. candidates, several programmers/engineers and full-time research assistants, extensive supporting personnel, and several affiliated international researchers. LCBC has excellent research infrastructure, including access to a 3T Siemens Prisma, PET and EEG, and neuropsychological and somatic test facilities. English is the inter-collegial language of the center. LCBC has obtained several large grants, including four grants from the European Research Council (ERC), as well as funding from the Research Council of Norway, the National Health Association, the Thon Foundation, and the University of Oslo.

EU soft power and a democratic green transformation in Latin America:  With its Green Deal, the EU seeks not only to transform its own economy to face up to climate change; it also seeks to assist Latin America. The EU is also dependent on Latin America for the access to rare minerals and other resources needed for an energy transformation. For the purpose of partnering with Latin America the EU has made available different forms of resources, including for green investments. However, the EU is not alone in investing in the green transformation. Latin America is for example the main recipient of Chinese investments in renewable energy. What distinguishes the EU from, for example China, is its insistence of encouraging democratic green transformations, not simply investments in reduction of climate emissions. This PhD will study whether the EU approach of including broad dialogue and involving civil society, may encourage a different form of transformation than that of other global forces, including China and the United States. It will do so through combining quantitative analysis of EU vs Chinese and other investments, and democracy indicators, and case studies of the mechanisms of dialogue and its impact.

Professor Benedicte Bull (benedicte.bull@sum.uio.no)

Institutt for lærerutdanning og skoleforskning, Universitetet i Oslo, har ledig stilling som stipendiat
for en periode på 4 år. Stillingen er innenfor temaet lesing (literacy). 
Norge er et av landene i verden som i størst grad har digitalisert grunnopplæringen. Samtidig som
stadig mer av skolens aktiviteter foregår på skjerm, er det fremdeles et av skolens hovedoppdrag å gi
alle elever gode leseferdigheter gjennom hele opplæringsløpet på tvers av både fag og trinn. Det er
et stort behov for forskningsbasert kunnskap om hvordan leseopplæring praktiseres i norskfaget og
hvorvidt og eventuelt hvordan lesemedium (papir, skjerm eller lyd) spiller inn på hva slags
leseopplæring elevene får. Dette er relevant å undersøke på både ungdomstrinn og i videregående
skole. Det er behov for å kartlegge hva slags lesing som foregår, når ulike lesemedier blir tatt i bruk
og til hvilke formål, samt hvordan lærere og elever forholder seg til tekster på papir, skjerm eller som
lyd. 

Ph-d.- prosjektet skal innebære forskning på lesing i klasserom der hver elev har tilgang til sin egen
digitale enhet, såkalt 1:1-tilgang. Det må samles inn nye empiriske data til prosjektet i samråd med
veileder, og det anbefales at prosjektet kombinerer ulike egnede metoder som videodata fra
undervisning med for eksempel intervjuer eller tekstanalyser. Det er ønskelig at prosjektet bruker et
forskningsdesign som sammenligner systematisk når lesing foregår på tvers av medier, for eksempel
ved å sammenligne lesing på papir med lesing på skjerm og/eller lydbøker/lydfiler. Det vil bli vektlagt
positivt dersom søkeren har erfaring med å innhente data fra klasserom.

Mulige problemstillinger (disse er ment som inspirasjon, og det er lov å tilpasse til eget prosjekt):

• Hva kjennetegner lesing som foregår på papir, skjerm og lyd i norskfaget?
• Hva opplever lærere og/eller elever som hovedfordelene og hovedutfordringene ved ulike lesemedier?
• Hvordan foregår lesingen av digitale tekster sammenlignet med lesingen av tekster på papir, når det kommer til hvordan tekstene følges opp i form av oppgaver?
• Hvordan opplever elevene å lese på papir, skjerm eller lytte til tekster når formålet er å lære?
• Hva avgjør lærernes valg av ulike medier i norsktimene?

Stipendiaten vil tilknyttes forskergruppen Studies of Instruction across Subjects and Competences
(SISCO). SISCO samler noen av landets beste klasseromsforskere, som er opptatt av undervisning i
skolen. SISCO er en forskergruppe som samles annenhver uke og som prioriterer stipendiatene høyt.
I SISCO vil det blant annet bli mange anledninger til å diskutere egen forskning, egne tekster og egne
kommende presentasjoner i et sterkt, tverrfaglig miljø.

Ansettelsen gjelder for en periode på inntil 4 år med 25 % pliktarbeid. Pliktarbeidet vil bestå av undervisning, sensurarbeid og forskningsassistanse. 

Opptak til doktorgradsprogram er et vilkår for ansettelse i stilling som stipendiat. Det er en forutsetning at kandidaten kan gjennomføre prosjektet i løpet av stipendiatperioden. Formålet for utdanningsstillingen er at Ph.d.-kandidaten skal oppnå en doktorgrad i løpet av stipendiatperioden. 

For mer informasjon om fakultetets PhD-program, se nettside. Arbeidssted vil være Blindern campus i Oslo.
 

Søkere må tilfredsstille kravene for opptak til fakultetets ph.d.-program. Dette inkluderer vanligvis:

• Fullført og bestått mastergrad, eller tilsvarende, innenfor pedagogikk eller fagdidaktikk
•  En mastergrad (120 studiepoeng) med minimumskarakter B (ECTS karakterskala) eller tilsvarende. Mastergraden må inkludere en oppgave på minimum 30 studiepoeng, også med minimumskarakter B.
• God fremstillingsevne skriftlig og muntlig på engelsk og norsk. Siden alle data vil innebære norsk som hovedspråk, er det en forutsetning at søkere behersker norsk flytende. 

Ved vurdering og rangering av kvalifiserte søkere vil det bli lagt vekt på:

• prosjektbeskrivelsens kvalitet
• erfaring med innsamling av data og analysearbeid
• søkerens motivasjon 
• søkerens personlige egenskaper, samarbeidsevner og motivasjon 

• lønn fra kr. 532.200 til kr. 575.400 avhengig av kompetanse, i stilling som stipendiat (stillingskode 1017)

Applicants are invited for a 4 year position as PhD Research Fellow in social studies education with an emphasis on sustainability issues at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, University of Oslo.

We live in times of climate crisis, ecological degradation and global injustice. It is widely acknowledged that this situation requires transformations of societal structures and practices, making education a crucial element. Social studies in school have been characterized by an anthropocentric approach where society and nature as concepts appear isolated and the relations and interdependencies are rendered invisible. The PhD project offers an opportunity to explore how sustainability as a societal challenge and as a topic that is taught in school inspire reconsideration of established social science narratives. The contemporary climate and nature crises require theoretical and methodological development in social studies education research regarding central concepts, practices and purposes.

Possible themes of relevance for this research on social studies education in times of the current sustainability challenges could include, but are not limited to:

• Democracy and democracy education in the context of climate and nature crises
• Democratic and ecological citizenship of children and young people
• Perspectives on children and young people's agency
• Conceptualizations of politics
• Nature and society
• Human rights education and sustainability
• Connections between the local and the global
• Approaches to complexity and progression in social studies and interdisciplinary sustainability teaching practices

It is expected that the PhD project combines theory development and empirical, qualitative research in schools or in open schooling arenas. The proposal should explain how the project is both theoretically and methodologically innovative. The successful candidate will be affiliated with the research group COSER (Challenges of Sustainability in Educational Research). COSER is an interdisciplinary research group that examines the relationship between education and contemporary complex issues related to sustainability.

The fellowship period is up to 4 years, with 3 years devoted to research education. The position entails a compulsory workload of 25%, that consists of teaching and supervision duties and research assistace.

A funded 2 year postdoctoral position is available at the Department of Microbiology, Division of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Oslo.

A postdoctoral position is available to study DNA repair and treatment-induced tumor evolution in mammalian cells and tissues in Hilde Loge Nilsen research group at the Department of Microbiology.

The group works with DNA repair, specifically with the repair of uracil, resulting from cytosine deamination, initiated by uracil-DNA glycosylase. We are particularly interested in the interaction between uracil repair and APOBEC cytosine deaminases. APOBEC enzymes accelerate tumor evolution by generating uracil in DNA and footprints of APOBEC activity can be seen in cancer cells as specific mutational signatures. We have recently shown that APOBEC activity can drive tumor development in mice.

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.

The work will primarily be carried out in cell lines but will also be validated in organotypic cultures established from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. It is also expected that the postdoc contributes to ongoing work to characterize a new mouse model for B-cell lymphoma.

Specific tasks:

• Study DNA repair and cancer development in mammalian cells and tissues
• Study mechanisms of treatment resistance in vitro
• Characterize new mouse models

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.

Senior HR adviser Mija Nikolaisen, (questions regarding the online application form), e-mail: mija.nikolaisen@medisin.uio.no

The Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture (TIK) at the University of Oslo (UiO) invites applications for a two-year Research Fellowship (position code 1109) at the FUNGATERIA project.

The researcher employed in this position will be working at the intersections of STS and design. The contract’s starting date can be negotiated between August and September 2024. 

The researcher position (post-doctoral level) will be affiliated with the TIK Centre’s research group
“Science, Technology and Culture” which carries out STS oriented research on science and
technology as cultural and material practices that are shaped by society and crucial in the production
of social and political reality. This research group is focused on understanding relationships and
tensions between various forms of scientific and technological knowledge/expertise, the ways in
which scientific knowledge is used in politics, and the dynamics of technoscientific controversies
related to nature and culture. Research within the group uses historical and contemporary source
material, as well as interdisciplinary methods and analytical resources. This includes an interest in
developing participatory, inventive and design-oriented methodologies. Applicants should have a
strong interest in and competence for contributing to the development of such research areas.

Imagine a world in which walls and everyday life things surrounding you are living. Engineered
Living Materials (ELMs) are envisioned as enabling a wide range of solutions towards a transition to
greener economies. The FUNGATERIA consortium explores collaborations between fungi and
bacteria, developing models and prototypes to produce materials with computational capabilities.
Mycelium based living materials such as those being developed in FUNGATERIA open for new ways
of imaging buildings and cities, and potentially many other objects. ELMs are qualified as being
‘smart materials’ in that they take advantage from intrinsic properties of life such as the capacity for
self-repairing and healing. This creates opportunities and challenges with regards to designing such
materials to behave in a controlled way over time. Anticipating futures through activities such as
modeling is key to design activities in FUNGATERIA.

FUNGATERIA is organized in seven teams collaborating across European universities. The team
based at the University of Oslo coordinates WP7 - ELM Futures. WP-7 develops a citizen science
methodology to explore public issues, sensibilities and future projections of living materials,
particularly ELMs. The announced researcher position will collaborate with the Oslo WP-7 ELM
Futures team to design and produce prototypes using critical, speculative and participatory
methodologies from STS, design and art.

The FUNGATERIA consortium is led by the Danish Royal Academy for Architecture, Design and
Conservation, in partnership with The Free University of Brussels, The Democritus University of
Thrace, The University of Ghent, University of Utrecht, University of the West of England, Bristol
and the University of Oslo. The project builds on interdisciplinary collaborations, and all partners are
involved in communication, public engagement and dissemination activities.

• Relevant candidates should have a Ph.D. in STS or other relevant fields in the social sciences, design,architecture and/or fine arts.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences

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.

In this project, we will explore and develop point defects in semiconductors – imperfections in the material that are often seen as something to avoid – for QT applications. Point defect-based QT facilitates quantum bits based on either the electron spin or photon polarization and is well suited for optical readout using the single photon emitter (SPE) property. Importantly, point defect SPEs can operate at room temperature (RT), in contrast to most other available QT platforms that require milli-kelvin temperatures to function. 

Specifically, the current project is related to control and understanding of single-photon emitters in the technologically mature materials Si and SiC, and novel materials like AlN. We aim to achieve defect integration with electrical and photonic devices, and we will explore how quantum emitters in these materials can be utilized for quantum sensing applications. 

In this PhD Research Fellowship, we seek a candidate who will take part in the development of semiconductor point defects for QT applications. The work of the PhD candidate will mainly be of experimental character, and in particular related to electrical and optical characterization, as well as fabrication and modeling of test structures. 

Relevant tasks may be a combination of: 

• Investigation of defect formation in Si, SiC, and other materials. 
• Electrical and optical characterization of quantum emitters. 
• Design and modeling of electronic and nanophotonic devices.
• Use of large facilities (e.g., muon beamlines) for depth resolved studies of semiconductor defects and devices. 

The PhD Research Fellowship is funded by the Academia Agreement with the aim to develop semiconductor materials and devices for future generation quantum technology, with a particular emphasis on quantum sensors for the green transition.

The PhD Research Fellow will be closely knit with the supervisor’s other projects and activities, and in several cases work in a larger team with colleagues at the University of Oslo and partners internationally. 

The PhD research fellow will be affiliated with the semiconductor physics group LENS (Light and electricity from novel Semiconductors) with around 50 highly dedicated professors, researchers, postdocs, PhD fellows, engineers, admin and master students. The research group has an excellent infrastructure covering chemical, structural, optical and electrical characterization methods, device fabrication and simulations. The infrastructure includes the Micro- and Nanotechnology Laboratory (MiNaLab) with a clean room area in excess of 400 m2 with a multitude of modern fabrication and characterization facilities.

The LENS group is part of the Physics Department and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN). SMN is an interdisciplinary collaboration between five research groups in physics and chemistry, and spearheads the MN faculty’s efforts for sustainable energy solutions. The Centre comprises UiO’s focus on renewable energy, materials science, and nanotechnology.

Professor Arnoldo Frigessi. Email: arnoldo.frigessi@medisin.uio.no

PRIMA is a new Center of Excellence in Precision Immunotherapy at the University of Oslo funded by the Research Council of Norway. https://www.prima.uio.no/english/. We are now recruiting a postdoc to join a team-based alliance and contribute to the next generation immunotherapy strategies.

The current position is a 3-year postdoc position in the Malmberg Laboratory at the University of Oslo, Department for Cancer Immunology, located at the Institute for Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital, Radiumhospitalet. https://www.ous-research.no/malmberg/. The position is available from June 1st 2024.

Immunotherapy has dramatically improved outcomes for cancer patients. A single injection of gene-modified immune cells equipped with a therapeutic receptor that targets cancer cells can cure several cancer types originating from blood cells. However, the success of gene therapy has not yet been extended to other cancer types, where two major challenges are i) difficulties in identifying safe target molecules and efficacious immune receptors that recognize them, and ii) immune-suppressive mechanisms in the tumor. The Precision Immunotherapy Alliance (PRIMA) will use the immune system of healthy donors to overcome these bottlenecks and extend cell-based immunotherapy to a range of blood and solid cancers. Novel categories of therapeutic targets that are shared among large numbers of patients can thereby be exploited. Other targets for precision immunotherapy will be identified by a combination of sophisticated computational analysis tools and experiments that identify cell types and how they interact in the tumor. A combination of gene-modified immune cells and new agents that overcome tumor defense mechanisms may radically improve cancer therapy.  Promising therapeutic modalities will be scaled-up for first-in-man clinical trials in a new infrastructure for advanced cell and gene therapy.

The Malmberg lab has a strong background in understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation and diversification of human NK cell repertoires in health and disease. A central aspect of these studies has been to examine the dynamic shaping of NK cell function by killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR). Understanding how inhibitory interactions can lead to modulation of the lysosomal compartment and how lysosomal signaling fine-tunes the functional response is one current area of research within the lab.

Another area of research includes deciphering the repertoire dynamics, as well as metabolic and functional characteristics of proliferating NK cells, both during homeostatic proliferation and targeted feeder-based expansions. Through single-cell RNA sequencing, we are looking to identify important gene regulatory circuits underlying NK cell differentiation and characterize NK cell states in healthy and malignant tissues. These studies allow us to identify novel targets to genetically optimize human NK cells in terms of metabolic tolerance, specificity and functionality for cell-based immunotherapies.

Through industry collaboration, the lab is genetically optimizing synthetic killer cells (iPSC-derived NK) to develop an off-the-shelf precision immunotherapy product. The overall aim of the Malmberg lab is to design and implement, through clinical trials, novel strategies for NK-cell based immunotherapy to treat patients with advanced cancer.

The Malmberg lab is located in Oslo/Norway and Stockholm/Sweden and currently consists of 20 people. The post-doc position is based at the Oslo node of the group, at the Department of Cancer Immunology, Institute for Cancer Research. https://www.ous-research.no/institute/. The physical location within Oslo University Hospital and access to GMP facilities (ACT) facilitates translational research within the lab, with one clinical trial already completed and another one starting up.

Advances in genetic engineering combined with the rise of single cell methods and advanced subcellular imaging technologies, have opened up new and exciting opportunities to study immunology. We are seeking a highly motivated and self-driven postdoc who has a keen interest in basic immunology and translational research.

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.

Laboratory work will include a variety of single cell technologies, such as confocal microscopy and live cell imaging, high-dimensional immune profiling by flow cytometry, single-cell indexed FACS-sorting and RNA sequencing. Additionally, viral transduction and CRISRP/Cas9 will be used to genetically engineer primary NK cells, NK cell lines and/or iPSC-derived NK cells. 3D killing assays will be implemented to monitor and evaluate the function of the engineered NK cells, such as cytotoxicity, migration and proliferation, in a complex environment.Description project

The postdoc is expected to design and conduct experimental studies, perform data and statistical analysis, collaborate on related projects both within the lab (KI/Oslo) and outside the lab (collaborators) and attend, present and discuss at lab meetings and journal clubs.

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

• 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
• The candidate must be fluent in written and spoken English.

The appointment requires a PhD or a degree equivalent to a Norwegian PhD in natural or medical sciences. A prerequisite for applicants who have not yet defended their thesis is that the thesis is submitted for assessment before the closing date for applications. Appointment to the position is dependent on the public defense of the doctoral thesis being approved.

• A professionally stimulating and friendly working environment
• Salary NOK 575 400 - NOK 657 300 per annum depending on qualifications in position as Postdoctoral Research Fellow (position code 1352)
• Attractive welfare benefits and a generous pension agreement, in addition to Oslo’s family-friendly environment with its rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities

Do you want to join our team as a postdoctoral fellow performing clinically highly relevant research on potential novel treatment in bile ducts disease?

We have one position available as a postdoctoral fellow (SKO1352) at the University of Oslo - 3-years engagement – affiliated with The Norwegian PSC Research Center (NoPSC) at the Institute of Clinical Medicine.

We invite applications for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship for an ambitious researcher with a relevant PhD to further develop our research portfolio related to biliary organoids and related in vitro model systems. In this project, utilizing our world-wide unique biobank resources, we aim to discover and attempt to identify new therapeutic principles to target biliary tract inflammation and cancer, by applying a range of methodologies (e.g. transcriptomics/single-cell sequencing, AI-based image analysis, flow-cytometry, immunohistochemistry etc.) in the context of interventions made to relevant model systems (cholangiocyte organoids and our developing bile-duct-on-a-chip, in particular). Relevant interventions include drug-screening experiments, co-culture experiments and system modifications. The aim is to identify potential drug candidates for chronic inflammatory bile duct diseases and bile duct cancer. The project may also include further work on selected drug candidates in relevant mouse models. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with international networks with expertise on relevant methodological components, and a prerequisite for a successful applicant, is to work at a high-level collaborating institution within Europe for 6-12 months during initial phases of the project (potentially an entity associated with a pharmaceutical company). Our research environment is international, friendly and inspiring, and the position represents a unique opportunity for career development for a hard-working candidate.

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.

The Norwegian PSC Research Center is one of the world-leading research units for PSC. The center comprises three research groups, and covers a comprehensive, translational research portfolio from basic genomic and experimental studies to clinical trials. Our team counts 35-40 employees from all over the world, spread across four research groups. A successful applicant will be working in the research group of professor Espen Melum, a group which is also affili-ated with the Norwegian Center of Excellence “Hybrid Technology Hub” (Centre for Organ on a Chip-Technology).

Applicants are invited for a three to four year position as Postdoctoral Fellow in mathematics didactics to be based at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, at the University of Oslo. The intended starting date is October 1st 2024.

The postdoctoral position is linked to two research groups SISCO and TEPEC. SISCO (Studies of Instruction across Subjects and Competences) focuses on the field of subject didactics and subject specific questions and has a particular competency in the development and use of video-based studies and observation protocols. The research group TEPEC (Teachers’ Professional Development and Educational Change) focuses on questions related to teacher education, where development of quality in pre-service teachers’ (PST) teaching practice is a central topic of research.

The postdoctoral fellow is expected to pursue research that can contribute to achieving inclusive mathematics teacher education and prepare PSTs to work in culturally, socially and linguistically diverse secondary school mathematics classrooms. The increased social, linguistic and cultural complexity in Norwegian classrooms pose a challenge for teachers and demands that PSTs develop the necessary competencies for realising inclusive and equitable mathematics teaching. The project therefore aims to develop knowledge about how to support PST’s development of inclusive and equitable mathematics teaching practices.

Creating coherence and closing the perceived gap between on and off campus teacher education, in particular between on-campus seminars and teaching practice (practicum) in schools, is recognised as a main challenge for teacher education. A main goal of this project is to narrow this gap by developing tools that can be used for identification of and reflection on the enactment of inclusive and equitable teaching practices in diverse classrooms. Such tools should aim to capture and support development of subject-specific mathematics teaching practices linked to realising inclusive and equitable teaching and assessment practices in diverse classrooms and function as a tool that can be used to support both university-based teacher educators and school-based supervisors.  

Possible themes of relevance for this research could include, but are not limited to:
•    Tools to facilitate aligning initial teacher education and school-based teacher education
•    Use of observation protocols for equitable and inclusive mathematics education
•    Video-observation as tool in mathematics teacher education
•    Tools to support student reflection

The appointment is a fulltime position and is made for a period of 3 years, 10% of which is devoted to required duties, usually in the form of teaching activities.  If there is a good match between the candidate’s competence and the teaching needs at the Department of Teacher Education and School Research, the position may be extended to 4 years, 25% of which is devoted to required duties, usually in the form of teaching activities and supervision.

Postdoctoral fellows who are appointed for a period of four years are expected to acquire basic pedagogical competency during their fellowship period within the duty component of 25 %.

Applications are invited for a 2- to 3-year Postdoctoral Fellowship/ Researcher for an interdisciplinary project combining Cell Biology and Systems Neuroscience to study the interplay between sleep and autophagy from a phylogenetic perspective. The selected candidate will join two ERC-funded laboratories at the University of Oslo: Helene Knævelsrud´s group Cell Stress and Cancer at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences and Charlotte Boccara’s group Systems Neuroscience and Sleep at the Norwegian Centre for Molecular Medicine.

Knævelsrud Lab: https://www.med.uio.no/imb/english/research/groups/cellstress/index.html

Boccara Lab: https://boccaralab.com/, https://www.med.uio.no/ncmm/english/groups/boccaragroup/

About the project: Autophagy as a phylogenetically conserved mediator of sleep benefits

Our overarching hypothesis is that some health benefits linked to sleep are dependent on functional autophagy. We propose to (1) elucidate the specific function of autophagy during sleep in order to (2) manipulate autophagy to reverse the neural effects of subpar sleep. The Boccara and Knævelsrud labs are uniquely positioned to tackle this question by combining the advanced sleep recording and sleep modulating tools developed in the Boccara lab with the autophagy tools developed in the Knævelsrud lab. In this joint project, we will develop tools and strategies to study autophagy during sleep in an invertebrate (Drosophila) and a rodent (rat) model of sleep deprivation. Our ambition is to highlight autophagy as a phylogenetically conserved mediator of sleep-benefits at a cellular level – thus opening very concrete new translational avenues for much needed therapeutic applications.

We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate with either experience in (i) in vivo electrophysiology and/or in (ii) autophagy in a physiological context. The selected candidate will work at the intersection of cell biology, physiology, and systems neuroscience, gaining a unique holistic perspective on autophagy and sleep. Under the supervision of Boccara (Norwegian Centre for Molecular Medicine – ERC 2023 – Nature Comm 2022, Science 2019) and Knævelsrud (Institute for Basic medical sciences – ERC 2022 – iScience 2023, Nature Comm 2016), the postdoc will be introduced to the forefront of promising research fields and cutting-edge techniques, making their profile extremely attractive for future recruitments. Both groups are composed of scientists from diverse backgrounds, allowing exchange of ideas across disciplines. At NCMM the postdoc will be exposed to various methods in molecular and precision medicine, whereas at IMB/OUS they will be part of the membrane dynamics unit within the Division of Biochemistry.

• Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in Cell Biology, Neurosciences or a related discipline. If a doctoral degree is not yet awarded, the doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the closing application date.
• Strong neuroscience background and/or background in in vivo studies of autophagy with accomplishments demonstrated by publications in peer-reviewed journals is wished.
• Experience with in vivo electrophysiology in rodents including device buildings, surgical procedures, freely-behaving recording procedures, signal processing and data analyses or experience with Drosophila activity monitoring and analyses will be viewed positively.
• FELASA certificate (or equivalent personal license to conduct animal experiments) is required or must be obtained within 2 months of starting the position.
• Experience in the following will also count in the assessment of the applicants: optogenetics computational and statistical methods for analysis; rodent behaviour, histology methods, sleep scoring, neurodevelopment as well as rodent genetic editing, viral and neurodevelopment tools, engineering, Drosophila genetics, dissection and immunofluorescence imaging of Drosophila adult brain.

• Strong motivation.
• Ability to integrate and collaborate within a cross-disciplinary environment.
• Organization skills.
• Ability to work independently and take initiatives.
• Clarity in communication.

• Salary 575 400 - 657 300 NOK per annum depending on qualification in a position as Postdoctoral Fellowship/ Researcher (position code 1352/1109)
• Generous pension arrangements
• Attractive welfare benefits
• A friendly and supportive environment ideal for learning new methods

About the application: ninam@ncmm.uio.no

A Doctoral Research Fellowship (SKO 1017) in philosophy of science is available at the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas, University of Oslo.

The Doctoral Research Fellowship is associated with the project Assembling Life funded by the European Research Council (ERC).

The candidate is expected to develop a project description on a topic relevant for the AssemblingLife project, which must be submitted as a part of the application. The candidate’s PhD project will contribute to the “AssemblingLife” project.

Many complex structures and processes of life are at least partly the result of spontaneous self-assembly processes. In the AssemblingLife project, a central aim is, within the framework of philosophy of science, to develop new ideas of life and life science explanation by bringing in the increasing knowledge and awareness of self-assembly processes from various scientific fields (for example nanoscience, molecular biology and soft material science). Important objectives are to provide a comprehensive analysis of the concept and idea of self-assembly across fields and scales and to decipher differences, similarities and connections between self-assembly and ideas of self-organization of living systems. The project aims to challenge (but also to build on) existing accounts of explanation in philosophy of biology and life sciences, such as current accounts of genetic causation as well as mechanist and interventionist ideas of explanation. It is also a central goal to explicate how several explanatory frameworks, such as for example biophysics and molecular biology, may compete and/or integrate from the viewpoint of self-assembly processes. The project aims at building bridges between mechanist and organicist views of life, to provide new answers to questions of scientific explanation, the relation between scales and levels of explanation, and ultimately to the question of how to understand life itself.

This PhD position will be specifically associated with one of two research strands in AssemblingLife: (1) One strand considers how the understanding of genetic causation may be transformed by bringing in current knowledge about self-assembly processes. One possible route would be to investigate genetic material as “nudgers” of self-assembly processes. (2) A second strand will be an investigation of self-assembly in the context of philosophy of causal and/or mechanistic explanation across fields and scales. A central question will be to what extent self-assembly processes challenges existing philosophical frameworks of scientific explanation. The candidate´s proposed doctoral research need not address these topics exactly as described here. Candidates should, though, in their research description and application address how their proposed research relates to one of the research strands described. More information about the relevant work packages can be made available to applicants (see contact details below).

The candidate is expected to work closely with the PI and the other participants in the AssemblingLife project.

The candidate will be situated in a strong, lively and supportive research environment. To mention some of the current activity, the department hosts several ERC philosophy projects in addition to “AssemblingLife” and also hosts the Centre for Philosophy and the Sciences, which is funded as a prioritized research area from the Faculty of Humanitites, UiO.

The person appointed will be affiliated with the Faculty's organized research training. The academic work is to result in a doctoral thesis that will be defended at the Faculty with a view to obtaining the degree of PhD. The successful candidate is expected to have Oslo as their primary workplace, to join the existing research milieu or network and contribute to its development. Read more about the doctoral degree.

The appointment is for a duration of 3 years. All PhD Candidates who submit their doctoral dissertation for assessment with a written recommendation from their supervisor within 3 years or 3 ½ years after the start of their PhD position, will be offered, respectively, a 12 or 6 month Completion Grant.

• A Master's degree or equivalent in philosophy. It will be considered an advantage if the candidate has some background in one or more of the natural science fields relevant for the project. Candidates with a Master´s degree in a natural science field will also be considered if they can demonstrate sufficient philosophical competence to take on a philosophy of science PhD project. The Master's degree normally must have been obtained and the final evaluation must be available by the application deadline. In exceptional cases, we can consider applications from candidates who do not yet have an MA degree but who are close to completing one. If so, the degree must be awarded by the time the position is taken up
• Fluent oral and written communication skills in English, see Language requirements
• Personal suitability and motivation for the position.

To be eligible for admission to the doctoral programmes at the University of Oslo, applicants must, as a minimum, have completed a five-year graduation course (Master’s degree or equivalent), including a Master’s thesis of at least 30 ECTS. In special cases, the Faculty may grant admission on the basis of a one-year Master course following an assessment of the study programme’s scope and quality.

In assessing the applications, special emphasis will be placed on:

• The project's scientific merit, relevance and innovation
• The applicant’s ability to contribute to one of the described research strands of the AssemblingLife project.
