Job description
Applications are invited for a 2-year researcher position (researcher w/o PhD, SKO1108) in the human immune disease group led by Janna Saarela to be based at NCMM, University of Oslo. The Saarela group focuses on improving the understanding of biological pathways and pathogenic mechanisms in rare and common immune disorders. We use high-throughput genomics technologies (WGS/WES/transcriptomics) and cell based immune assays to identify novel genetic causes for inborn errors of immunity and characterize the molecular consequences of the defects to produce novel knowledge of the immune functions in health and disease and to improve diagnosis of patients presenting with immune deficiency and immune dysregulation.
