Researcher
This is a one year part-time position as a researcher in the stem cell lab.
Our team specializes in reprogramming human fibroblasts/PBMCs into iPSCs using Nobel Prize-winning technology. We leverage the latest genome editing techniques to generate SNPs in healthy iPSCs, correct disease-causing mutations, and create knock-outs, knock-ins, and reporter iPSCs. To model diseases, we differentiate iPSCs into various cell types including neurons, cardiomyocytes, microglia, and more. If this excites you, we invite you to apply for our 50% researcher position.
Akershus University Hospital HF is a workplace with great diversity. This is a clear strength and crucial for addressing our many tasks in patient care, patient follow-up, research, and teaching. Therefore, we also welcome a diversity of applicants for available positions and encourage all qualified individuals to apply, regardless of identity and background. The employer reserves the right to change the workplace, tasks, and areas of responsibility as needed.Tasks
Tasks: Regular culture of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines, genome editing, and downstream analysis.Subject Areas: Molecular biology, Cell biology.
Methods: Cell culture, basic molecular biology techniques (including Western blotting, PCR, and qPCR), microscopy.
Our projects primarily focus on neurodegenerative diseases, and we will soon begin working on albinism iPSCs also. Utilizing our dedicated stem cell facility, we culture iPSCs and edit them using lab-optimized genome editing protocols. These edited cell lines and differentiated cell types will undergo downstream processing, including Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and microscopy at Epigen department, where we have all the required infrastructure available for our research.
Qualifications
PhD in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.Experience with cell culture, preferably iPSCs.
Proficiency in basic molecular biology techniques.
Personal qualities
Innovative with the ability to independently design experiments.Team player with strong collaboration skills.
We offer
Be part of a growing stem cell facility with a team of experts in stem cells and genome editing.
Join Epigen, a dynamic research environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
Opportunity to learn and apply cutting-edge technologies in the stem cell field.
Salary by agreement.
