About the Project
We are recruiting two postdoctoral research fellows for the project “ProSoft – Enhancing proton therapy for soft tissue sarcomas.” The project aims to develop a new spatially fractionated proton therapy (SFPT) strategy, integrated with advanced MRI, to improve treatment outcomes for patients with inoperable soft tissue sarcoma. Work will be carried out in a cross-disciplinary team spanning radiation biology, oncology, radiology, and physics.
Both positions focus on pre-clinical experimental studies, with close links to upcoming clinical sarcoma trials at Oslo University Hospital.

Oslo University Hospital is a workplace with great diversity. We believe this is crucial for solving our tasks in the best possible way. We want this diversity to be reflected among the applicants for our positions, and we encourage all qualified candidates, regardless of background, to apply!

Positions

Postdoc 1 – Biology
• Conduct pre-clinical studies using sarcoma-bearing mice
• Apply histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and related methods to assess various tumor response markers after SFPT

Postdoc 2 – Medical Physics
• Lead MRI-based monitoring of treatment effects in the tumors
• Link MR imaging data to biological endpoints
• Contribute MR approaches to clinical sarcoma studies

Both postdocs will collaborate closely, share responsibility for experimental work, and contribute to publications and supervision of students.

Qualifications

Required

PhD in biology, biophysics, biotechnology, or medical physics
Hands-on experience with experimental research (cells and/or animal models)

Preferred

Postdoc 1: Expertise in animal models, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, molecular analysis
Postdoc 2: Expertise in medical physics, MRI, ionizing radiation, animal models

Personal Qualities

We seek candidates who are ambitious, motivated, and structured in their work. You should be detail-oriented, reliable, collaborative, and able to communicate effectively in a multidisciplinary setting.

What We Offer

Full-time three-year positions with the posibility of extension
Cutting-edge proton therapy research in new laboratories at Oslo University Hospital
A dynamic, supportive, and inclusive work environment
Opportunities for academic growth in a multidisciplinary team

Application

Please submit:

Cover letter including a short description of how your skills fit Postdoc 1 and/or Postdoc 2
CV
Transcripts and diplomas (BSc, MSc, PhD)
Two references (including PhD or postdoc supervisor)
Relevant certificates
PhD thesis (or link)
