Postdoctoral Fellow / Researcher Position on Autophagy and Metabolism in Cancer (Engedal group, Oslo University Hospital, Norway)

A 2-year Postdoctoral fellow/Researcher position is available in the “Autophagy in Cancer” Team headed by Dr. Nikolai Engedal at the Department of Tumor Biology (www.ous-research.no/engedal).

We are seeking an ambitious, curious and dedicated scientist and team player with strong interests in autophagy, metabolism, and tumor cell biology.

The position is part of a project called “AUTOcope”, which is funded by the South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority. The project aims to understand the role of autophagy in the crosstalk between cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), with a particular focus on metabolic rewiring and cellular coping with tumor microenvironment stress. A summary of the project can be found here: https://forskningsprosjekter.ihelse.net/prosjekt/2024072.

The postdoctoral fellow/researcher will work in collaboration with team participants within the group, core facilities, and external project partners.

Oslo University Hospital is the largest hospital in Scandinavia, and the Institute for Cancer Research the largest cancer research environment in Norway. A short presentation of the Institute can be viewed here (youtu.be/MtcgDwqB_6Q).
