The University of Oslo’s Section of Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology is recruiting a PhD fellow for a three- to four-year project in clinical child and adolescent psychology focused on autism. The research will examine autism profiles among girls, the effects of autism-related symptoms on parents and siblings, and gender-specific treatment outcomes. The project addresses which symptom profiles predict an autism diagnosis in girls referred to child and adolescent mental health ...

UiT The Arctic University of Norway is offering a PhD fellowship in evolutionary biochemistry within the Host–Microbe Interaction research group at the Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Health Sciences, in Tromsø. The fellowship forms part of the LacZymes project led by Dr. Christopher Frøhlich. The project investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive the evolution of antibiotic resistance at the enzymatic level. It brings together ancestral sequence reconstruction, directed evolutio...

A PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) influence normal cells, including endothelial cells, and whether these cells are reprogrammed toward a tumor-supporting phenotype. The research is centered on tumor-host communication and the biological effects of cancer-derived vesi...

Helse Sør-Øst RHF offers annual postdoctoral fellowships supporting research in the health region. The scheme is designed for postdoctoral-level projects and is framed as a funded fellowship/studentship opportunity rather than a specific single-project vacancy. The fellowship supports research activities with funding for salary, social costs, and running costs, enabling the fellow to carry out an independent research project over either a 3-year full-time appointment or a 6-year part-time appoin...

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 n...

Oslo University Hospital – The Norwegian Radium Hospital is recruiting a PhD Research Fellow for a three-year doctoral project on glioblastoma , an aggressive brain cancer. The research will investigate combined immunotherapy and radiotherapy , addressing how these treatment approaches can be used together in the study and treatment of glioblastoma. The position forms part of InnovaRTBRAIN , a project within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks programme. The doctoral researcher ...

EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdocs (EIPOD) is an international postdoctoral fellowship programme at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, co-funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. Fellows are based at EMBL and develop their own interdisciplinary research projects within a collaborative research environment. The programme is built around projects that connect at least two EMBL groups , with the option to include external partners from academia, industry, clinics, or museums depending on the ...

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetic Epidemiology at the HUNT Center for Molecular and Clinical Epidemiology (HUNT MCE) in Trondheim, Norway. The fellow will join the Genetic Epidemiology research group in a multidisciplinary environment combining genetic, molecular, and clinical epidemiology. The project investigates maternal health, pregnancy, and child health using large, genotyped population cohorts, including HUNT, MoBa, UK Bi...
