A PhD fellowship position is available in the newly established Functional
Genomics and Molecular Imaging Laboratory at the Biotechnology Centre of
Oslo. The group is part of "The Cell-Signalling Centre" and is investigating
the role of transporter proteins in signal transduction within and between
cells, in particular in the CNS.
The candidate will be required to carry out research to
understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for the
functional diversity among a family of amino acid transporters,
and their roles in the pathogenesis of diseases of the brain and
other organs. (For more information about our activities see
following papers: Chaudhry et al., Cell, 1999; Chaudhry et al.,
EMBO J, 2001; Fremeau et al., Science, 2004; Solbu et al., JASN,
2005; Bredahl et al, NBS-nytt, 2006)
We seek a highly motivated individual holding a Master or a Cand. med. We
seek a person who enjoys working in an international and interactive
environment. A strong academic background with practical experience in
molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry is essential. Candidates with
prior experience in handling and characterization of transgenic mice will be
preferred.
