About this position

The University of Oslo’s Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG), within the Institute of Oral Biology at the Faculty of Dentistry, is offering a PhD research fellowship on tumor–host interaction in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by cancer cells influence normal cells both near the tumor and at distant sites. The PhD candidate will investigate whether OSCC-derived extracellular vesicles alter the phenotype and function of normal cells, including endothelial cells, in ways that support tumor growth.

The research will assess changes such as increased cellular proliferation, alterations in intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways, metabolic-profile shifts and other functional responses. The work provides training in experimental cancer biology, oral physiology, cell biology and molecular biology, supported by established core infrastructure and an interdisciplinary research environment.

The successful candidate will work under the main supervision of Professor Trude Marie Haug at the Institute of Oral Biology. The fellowship is embedded in the University of Oslo’s internationally connected Faculty of Dentistry, where odontological, clinical and biomedical research communities collaborate across disciplines. The project is expected to result in three scientific papers and a doctoral thesis.

Funding details

This is a 100% full-time, fully funded, fixed-term PhD Research Fellowship for three years. The salary is NOK 551,000–605,000 per year, depending on competence and experience, with a 2% statutory deduction for the State Pension Fund. The position includes established core infrastructure, supervision and research training, public-sector welfare benefits, pension, mortgage and insurance arrangements, and other employee benefits.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master’s degree equivalent to a Norwegian master’s degree in molecular biology, cell biology, dentistry, or another field relevant to the project. The master’s thesis must have received a grade of B or better in the Norwegian grading system. Good written and oral English communication skills are required, with additional English documentation requirements for applicants from outside the EU/EEA unless exempt. Experience with cell culturing, standard molecular biology techniques, immunohistochemistry, omics-data analysis, or intracellular Ca2+ imaging is advantageous. Applicants should be able to work independently and interdisciplinarily and demonstrate motivation, creativity, curiosity, work discipline, professional ethics, ambition, practical and analytical skills, and collaboration abilities. Admission to the University of Oslo Faculty of Dentistry PhD programme is required before taking up the position.

How to apply

Prepare a 1–2 page cover letter, CV, diplomas, transcripts, certificates, English-proficiency documentation where required, publication list and selected work if applicable, master’s thesis if possible, and contact details for two to three references. Submit the application and attachments in English or a Scandinavian language through the University of Oslo’s Jobbnorge recruitment system using the “Apply for the position” button.
