Position: Lung Cancer Postdoctoral Fellowship, Oslo University Hospital.
Successful candidates will be awarded a fully funded postdoctoral position, joining a vibrant scientific
community within academia and pharma. If selected, you will have access to expertise, data, imaging and
patient samples, novel tools and technologies, and the mentoring support needed to turn ideas into
reality. You will also be exposed to a world of learning opportunities, an outstanding opportunity to
expand your professional network, and broaden your professional experience, conducting parts of the
postdoctorate at leading university hospitals and research institutes, as well as at Nordic and International
AstraZeneca locations. You will also have access to related networks associated with the
hospital/institution. In Norway, the Oslo Cancer Cluster (including almost 100 members) serves as an
ecosystem partner for the Post Docs, including relevant national and international meeting networks,
meeting places and innovation support.

Both academic supervisors and AstraZeneca mentors will be assigned to each postdoctoral fellow, offering
you the freedom and autonomy to contribute your unique skills, plus the support to rapidly learn new
approaches to follow the science, innovate and make a tangible impact. You will regularly present at
internal workshops both at the hospitals as well as to AstraZeneca, in addition to being present at external
conferences and seminars and in the future, contributing to publications in leading journals. The Lung
Cancer and Breast Cancer Postdoctoral Fellow will be hired by the Oslo University Hospital and Karolinska
Institute, respectively, but will be working closely with both researchers and experts from both institutions
and AstraZeneca. The postdoctoral fellows will also be encouraged to connect, collaborate and share with
one-another.
