Offer Description
There is a vacancy for a PhD Research Fellow in environmental toxicology at the Department of Biological Sciences. The position is for a fixed-term period of 3 years with the possibility of a 4th year with compulsory other work (e.g. teaching duties at the Department). The position is associated with the NFR project "Whales and polar bear in a petri dish: decoding marine mammal toxicology through in vitro and in silico approaches", and funded by the University of Bergen.
About the project/work tasks:
The main aim of this exciting project is to establish fundamental knowledge about toxicological defense systems of marine mammals by characterizing functional properties of the molecular components of this system, as well as cellular responses in cell cultures from different species of marine mammals. Another aim is to integrate bioinformatic analyses of genome and transcriptome data with available reports on gene expression in biopsies from marine animals in nature. The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway, is linked to the Centre for Digital Life Norway, and has nine partners in Norway, Spain, Portugal, and USA.
The work tasks of the PhD fellow will involve establishing cell cultures from biopsies of selected species of marine mammals, experiments with reprogramming and differentiation of cells, toxicological exposure studies, and analyses of a variety of molecular and cellular endpoints using advanced methodology.
We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who masters relevant techniques on a theoretical as well as practical level. The position will involve some travelling both nationally and internationally, and a short-term research stay abroad is an option.
