Bioengineer

One position is available as bioengineer - a 18 months engagement – affiliated at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet

We are seeking a skilled co-worker to take on a challenging project focusing on the airway microbiome in viral diseases. The project focuses on the discovery of microbiota profiles and related proteomics/ metabolomics. The research group Infectious Immunology led by Professor Marius Trøseid, has over the past decade established a strong clinical microbiome research environment. In the present project, the use of large-scale metagenomics, co-culture experiments and proteomics, will be applied to discover novel microbiota-related biomarkers.

The research group has broad experience within clinical translational research, including microbiota research and contribution to lab analyses within other projects will be encouraged, provided time and capacity. The position will be affiliated at the Research Institute for Internal medicine in close collaboration with Department of microbiology.

Arbeidsoppgaver

What task and responsibilites are associated with the position?

The position will require broad experience from microbiology including DNA/RNA extraction and bacterial cultures, including optimalization of methods. A particular task will be to perform co-culture experiments to assess whether different bacteria in the airway microbiome have antagonizing and potentially antibacterial effects. Based on such experiments, supernatants will be harvested and analyzed with proteomics
