Doctoral Position: PhD Research
Fellow in Marine Geophysics
The PhD project aims at
characterizing and modeling the formation of this transform margin system based
on interpretation of high-resolution and conventional 3D seismic reflection
data, integrated with IODP borehole data on the Mimir High and potential field
data. The project will also address the oceanographic and environmental
implications of the transform margin development during the birth of the NE
Atlantic Ocean. The PhD project is part of a new project called PALMAR
("Paleogene Basin Development on the Vøring and Møre Margins"), a
collaborative project between the universities of Oslo, Bergen, and Tromsø and
two industry partners. The project is based on recent scientific core data
acquired by the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) in 2021, in
combination with high-resolution 2D and 3D P-Cable seismic data acquired in

Doctoral Position: PhD Research
Fellow in Paleomagnetism
Applications are invited for a
PhD candidate to contribute to the Norwegian Research Council-funded project
‘PANDA’ (A 100 Myr paleomagnetic data gap: Investigating anomalous behaviour of
Earthʼs
magnetic field in the middle Paleozoic) dedicated to understanding the nature
of the middle Paleozoic magnetic field through a combination of fieldwork and
paleomagnetic analyses. The middle Paleozoic (~440-340 million years
ago) was a key interval in which land-plant cover expanded to form extensive
forests, the first seed plants developed, as well as the first terrestrial
tetrapods. The middle Paleozoic has long been a problematic period for
paleomagnetism, data are generally difficult to interpret and have complex
partial or full overprints– problems that arise in data obtained from both
sedimentary and igneous rocks. There is a striking scarcity of high-quality,
unambiguous paleomagnetic data that hinders our understanding of the deep
interior of our planet. We seek a motivated PhD candidate who will
conduct fieldwork and experimental analyses of middle Paleozoic rock samples to
unravel the nature of their complex paleomagnetic records. The analytical work
will involve a variety of paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleointensity
experiments and the candidate will also conduct advanced rock-magnetic analyses
abroad in collaboration with PANDA project partners. You hold a Master’s degree
or equivalent in geology or geophysics or an equivalent qualification in
physics and Prior experience with geologic fieldwork, paleomagnetism and
laboratory measurements will be an asset.

3-year position as a Research Fellowship as Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of
Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway. The position is part of a
cross disciplinary program focusing on skeletal muscle atrophy in cancer

Postdoctoral Position: Postdoctoral
fellow in Computational Biology and Systems Medicine
A 2-year postdoctoral position
with flexible starting date is available in the Computational Biology and
Systems Medicine group led by Marieke Kuijjer at the Centre for Molecular
Medicine Norway (NCMM), Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, Nordic EMBL
partner. The group was established in 2018 and focuses on using computational
approaches to understand the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer
development, progression, and heterogeneity. The group's driving hypothesis is
that the complex clinical phenotypes we observe in cancer cannot be adequately
defined by individual layers of molecular data. Instead, we must consider the
underlying network of interactions between the different biological components
that can drive cancer phenotypes. To do so, the group develops computational
approaches that place genomic data into the context of large-scale, genome-wide
regulatory networks, as well as approaches to analyze such networks for
individual cancer patients. We seek a highly motivated candidate with a track
record of statistical models, network science, and/or computational tool
development dedicated to the analysis of of high-throughput genomics data,
comparative genomics, functional genomics, or a related field. You hold a PhD

Postdoctoral Position: Postdoctoral
Research Fellow in evolutionary genetics of venom
The Undheim group is
interested in questions in evolutionary biology that relate to how evolutionary
innovations and novelties emerge and how they interact across levels of
biological complexity. Animal venoms are excellent models for this purpose:
They are cocktails of bioactive polypeptides (“toxins”) that often potently and
selectively target important physiological processes in their victims, and that
have evolved through the modification of existing “housekeeping” proteins and
peptides. As relatively simple complex traits, venoms also offer unique
opportunities for studying molecular mechanisms underlying the ability of
traits to respond to selection, i.e. their evolvability. This is a major focus
of the group, which recently received funding from the European Research
Council to study the molecular genetic underpinnings of evolvability using the
venoms from lacewings (order Neuroptera) as model. The successful candidate
will be working mainly on the microevolutionary aspect of this project,
studying the effects of trait integration and mutations on the evolvability and
population-level divergence of venom and venom-associated molecular traits. The
person will work in the interface between molecular evolution, evolutionary
bioinformatics, and evolutionary quantitative genetics and use approaches such
as analyses of venom- and non-venom-associated transcriptomic expression
traits, venomics-guided gene regulatory network analyses, and analyses of
mutation-accumulation experiments. Applicants must hold a degree equivalent to
a Norwegian doctoral degree in a field within biology or a
biology-related field and at least two of the following additional
qualifications Molecular evolution, Comparative transcriptomics, Protein-protein
interaction or gene regulatory network analyses, Population genomics, Broad
knowledge about evolutionary theory.
