Researcher

At the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Biomedicine, a permanent full-time position as researcher is available. The position is external financed by research grant of the Norwegian Research Council, and part of the research project “High-dimensional analysis of AXL- mediated immunotherapy resistance: Clinical translation for personalized medicine”. The project has a temporary financing for 3 years

About the project/work tasks:

The AXL receptor tyrosine kinase is a key mediator of acquired resistance to anti-cancer therapy. AXL signaling regulates both tumor intrinsic and innate immune mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment that engender epithelial plasticity and subvert anti-tumor immunity. The primary objective of this project is to characterize how AXL receptor signaling regulates tumor intrinsic resistance to immunotherapy. The central hypothesis is that novel AXL complexes with unique signal transduction attributes support T cell resistant cell states. We address this through state-of-the-art experimental approaches comprising structural and multiplex imaging of AXL signaling complexes.

The Researcher

The candidate is an experienced postdoctoral scientist with protein chemistry and advanced structural biology expertise who will conduct structure-function analysis to determine how novel AXL receptor complexes affect cell signaling.

Qualifications and personal qualities:

• The candidate must hold a relevant Norwegian PhD or equivalent doctoral degree and at least three years of postdoctoral experience with a good scientific track record.
• The candidate must have experience in protein chemistry and structural biology.
• Personal skills, including abilities to work independently and cooperate within a research group will be evaluated

Your application must include:

• A brief letter of application stating your motivation for the position, why you are applying and why this position is perfect for you
• An overview of your education and work experience (CV)
• Witnessed copies of diplomas and relevant certificates (applicants with education from other countries than Norway must enclose diplomas in both the original language and authorized translations)
• Publications and academic work (max 10 in PDF) and a list of these
• Your PhD thesis (in PDF)
• Two references (name and contact information)

The application and any attachments along with certified translations in English or another Scandinavian language must be uploaded to JobbNorge.

For faculties that shortlist applicants, the following additional text must be used:

On the basis of this information, the expert committee will undertake a review of the applicants. Following this, the faculty will invite the best-qualified applicants to submit their academic work.

• The salary shall if possible be 100 % covered by external financing
• The researcher shall actively contribute to attract external funding to the research project, both for her/his own position and other positions, from the Research Council of Norway, EU and other sources
• The researcher is expected to have her/his research activity financed by the project of the researcher and the projects of the associated research group
• The Head of Department may allocate work for the Researcher related to specific research projects
• The researcher may participate in committee work and other administrative tasks within the University of Bergen
• The researcher has no teaching duties, but is expected to supervise master students and PhD candidates when this is a natural part of the research activity of the research group
• The researcher may apply for competence promotion according to the regulations for promotions 
• The basis for the position ceases if no further project funding and new law on state officials etc. on dismissal and preferential rights will be applied to permanent employees

It is very important that each of the scholarly works on which the committee should place special emphasis, is attached in its entirety.
