About the position​ We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in Bioinformatics and Comparative Immunology, available at the Department of Biosciences. Starting date as soon as possible. The fellowship period is three years. A fourth year may be considered with a work-load of 25 % which is devoted to other career promoting work, usually in the form of teaching, supervision duties, and/or research assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the department. No one can be appointed for more than one Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Oslo. Postdoctoral fellows who are appointed for a period of four years are expected to acquire basic pedagogical competency in the course of their fellowship period within the duty component of 25 %.

Project description​ The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary research group led by Professors Finn-Eirik Johansen (Department of Biosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences) and Shuo-Wang Qiao (Institute of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Medicine). The group’s main research focus is the unique immune system of the Atlantic cod, which is characterized by the evolutionary loss of MHC class II molecules and CD4 T cells — components that are essential for immunocompetence in other vertebrates, including humans. We combine classical molecular biology and experimental immunology with cutting-edge technologies, including modern high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. The project investigates the transcriptional profiles of Atlantic cod immune cells at the single-cell level and maps the immune receptor repertoires of cod B and T cells during homeostasis and in response to microbes, microbial products and vaccines. The main purpose of a postdoctoral fellowship is to provide the candidates with enhanced skills to pursue a scientific top position within or beyond academia. To promote a strategic career path, all postdoctoral research fellows are required to submit a professional development plan no later than one month after commencement of the postdoctoral period. What skills are important in this role?​ The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation.
