Open positions

We have one open position:

    Postdoctoral fellow: We have a 2-year funded postdoctoral fellow position available in computational biology of tumor heterogeneity. 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 with the Computational Oncology group led by Anita Sveen at the Institute for Cancer Research, OUS (see here 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 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.
In addition, we are always interested in welcoming enthusiastic and outstanding students. Please use the contact form on our website to send us a message.
