Postdoc in translational proton therapy research

We are seeking a postdoc fellow in translational proton therapy research at our new, state-of-the art preclinical proton therapy facility at Oslo University Hospital. The project aims to develop a novel strategy for proton therapy, combining metabolic drugs with proton irradiation to improve treatment outcomes of patients with prostate cancer. A central objective is to establish a robust preclinical pipeline for proton-drug combination therapies, integrating medical imaging and digital histopathology, with a goal for future clinical translation.

Work will be carried out in a cross-disciplinary team spanning radiation biology, physics, oncology, radiology, and pathology, with close links to our clinical collaborators at the hospital. The position is available for 3 years, with the possibility of extension.

Tasks

• Conduct pre-clinical studies in tumor-bearing mice
• Apply MR imaging, histopathology, transcriptomics, and related methods to assess tumor response markers following proton-drug combination therapy
• Link preclinical data to existing pretreatment data of prostate cancer patients

Qualifications

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

Preferred

• Expertise in animal models
• Expertise in MRI, histopathology, ionizing radiation, and molecular analyses
• Experience with statistical methods for large scale data and image analysis

Your application must include

• A cover letter including a brief account of your qualifications, research interests, and motivation for the position
• Transcripts and diplomas showing completion of master and PhD

Personal qualities

We seek a candidate who is ambitious, motivated, and structured in her/his work. You should be detail-oriented, reliable, collaborative, and able to communicate effectively in a multidisciplinary setting.

We offer

• 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
