About this position

The University of Oslo is recruiting for two exciting positions within the interdisciplinary Convergence Environment: NeuroPathways. These roles include a PhD position focused on gene-environment interplay and neurodevelopment, and a postdoctoral position investigating psychosocial and clinical pathways in neurodevelopmental conditions. The NeuroPathways project aims to bridge biomedical and social sciences to unravel the complex factors underlying neurodevelopmental differences and to provide robust evidence for supporting individuals and fostering a more inclusive society.

The project, led by Rosa Cheesman and a team of distinguished researchers including Krister Fjermestad, Alexandra Havdahl, Astrid Marie Jorde Sandsør, Nicolai T. Borgen, and Hedvig Marie Nordeng, is funded by UiO:Life Science. The research environment is highly collaborative, with a focus on examining how genetic, pharmacological, psychosocial, and educational factors interact to shape neurodevelopmental outcomes. Key objectives include understanding the rise in neurodevelopmental diagnoses, mapping inequalities in access to diagnostic and support services, evaluating the long-term effectiveness of interventions, and highlighting heterogeneity in intervention effects based on genetic and social contexts.

Applicants for the PhD and postdoctoral positions should have a background in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field, and a strong interest in interdisciplinary, high-impact research. The positions offer competitive funding and the opportunity to work in a leading research environment at the University of Oslo. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2026. For more information and to apply, visit the official job postings linked above.

Funding details

The positions are funded by UiO:Life Science. Funding covers salary and research costs as per University of Oslo standards. Details on stipend amount and tuition coverage are available in the official job postings.

What's required

Applicants should have a relevant degree in psychology, neuroscience, or a related field for the PhD or postdoctoral level as appropriate. Experience or interest in gene-environment interplay, neurodevelopmental conditions, or psychosocial research is desirable. Strong collaborative skills and a passion for interdisciplinary research are valued. Specific requirements may be detailed in the linked job advertisements.
