About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Oslo, Norway, in the Autophagy group at the Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Institute of Cancer Research, Oslo University Hospital, with affiliation to the Centre for Cancer Cell Reprogramming (CanCell), Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo.

The project, “CancER-phagy - Unravelling and targeting ER-phagy in cancer”, is funded by the Research Council of Norway and focuses on endoplasmic reticulum stress, ER-phagy, autophagy, and cancer progression. The research aims to uncover molecular mechanisms of ER-phagy and how dysregulation contributes to tumour growth, metastasis, and therapy resistance.

Applicants should have a PhD in cell biology, molecular biology, or a closely related field, with strong experience in molecular cell biology. Desired expertise includes cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, protein expression and interaction analysis, light microscopy, and/or cancer assays. Background in autophagy or intracellular trafficking is an advantage. Strong English communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are required.

This is a 3-year fixed-term postdoctoral position starting 01.01.2027. Salary is NOK 595,000–680,000 depending on competence and experience.

To apply, submit an application letter, CV, publication list, project description, transcripts/certificates, and 2–3 references via Jobbnorge. The deadline is 2026-10-13.
