Postdoctoral Fellowship in Molecular Nutrition
5 days ago
Applicants are invited for a 3-year position as Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Nutrition based at the Department of Nutrition at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway. The position is part of a project investigating how genes and lipids contribute to the development of fatty liver disease.
The Department of Nutrition aims to provide teaching and research at a high international level and recruit the best colleagues and students within our field both nationally and internationally. The department is responsible for nutrition teaching for medical, clinical nutrition, and dentistry students. We are approximately 100 employees engaged in many research projects within nutritional sciences.
More about the positionThe appointment is a fulltime position for a period of three years. Research activities will take place in the group headed by Associate Professor Frode Amador Norheim (Molecular Metabolism). The project includes the use of molecular and cell biology methods, RNA sequencing, lipidomics, cell culture, and dietary interventions in mice.
The research group aims to develop strategies to slow down or reverse the progression of chronic diseases. One of the main focuses of the group is to understand how fatty liver can progress to a condition with liver inflammation and subsequent scarring. The research group collaborates closely with the research groups of Knut Tomas Dalen, Coen Campsteijn, and Gareth Sullivan at the University of Oslo and Oslo University Hospital.
We are seeking highly motivated and competent postdoctoral candidates with broad experience in molecular nutrition and offer skill development in a stimulating academic environment.
