A researcher position funded by South-Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority for 2 year position is vacant. The researcher will work on ongoing projects investigating early lymphomagenesis at the interface between autoimmunity and B-cell malignancy, including Cold Agglutinin Disease (CAD), anti-MAG polyneuropathy, and cryoglobulinaemia type II. The project will be led by Senior researcher Agnieszka Malecka and the researcher will work in prof Ludvig A. Munthe’s group at the Department of Immunology and RCN CoE PRIMA, University of Oslo. The research group is part of a stimulating and international research environment of about 100 scientists working on various aspects of immunology.
