About this position

The University of Oslo, Faculty of Dentistry, is preparing to announce a fully funded 3-year PhD position in oral microbiology and oral ecology. The research project will focus on novel drivers of antibiotic resistance in oral streptococci, a critical topic at the intersection of dentistry, microbiology, and medical science. The successful candidate will join the Department of Oral Biology, working under the supervision of Institute Leader Mohammed Al-Haroni, and will be expected to manage and execute the research project, design and perform experimental work, write scientific papers, complete a PhD thesis, and present findings at national and international conferences.

The Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Oslo is renowned for its research in oral health, microbiology, and antibiotic resistance. The department offers access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative research environment. The project aligns with ongoing research at the faculty, including studies on antibiotic stewardship, oral microbial ecology, and the development of new methods to study biological tissues.

Applicants should have a strong background in oral microbiology, oral ecology, or related fields, and hold a master's degree in a relevant discipline. Experience in experimental research, scientific writing, and presenting at conferences is expected. The position is funded for three years, but specific details regarding stipend amount, tuition coverage, or additional financial support are not provided in the announcement.

Interested candidates should monitor the University of Oslo Department of Oral Biology and Faculty of Dentistry websites for the official job posting. Once announced, applications will be submitted through the university's application portal. This is an excellent opportunity for candidates interested in oral health, microbiology, and antibiotic resistance research to pursue a PhD at a leading European institution.
