A post-doc position is available in the Cancer Molecular Medicine group of Dr. Enserink at the Institute for Cancer Research at the Division for Cancer Medicine from January 01, 2024 for two years (with possibility for extension). The start date can be negotiated.

The organization and research focus
The Cancer Molecular Medicine group is located at the Radium Hospital, which is part of Oslo University Hospital, the largest academic hospital in Scandinavia. The group is part of a Norwegian Centre of Excellence (Centre for Cancer Cell Reprogramming, "CanCell"), which consists of six research groups focused on the discovery of cancer programs, their interactions with the cellular environment, and the study of cancer reprogramming processes.
One of the group's aims is to comprehensively explore autophagy dynamics in response to nutrient stress, employing genomics and computational biology and yeast as a model organism. In our latest project, we delivered a systems-level description and characterization of the global regulatory network governing autophagy dynamics during nitrogen starvation and replenishment. Based on these findings, we are further interested in examining autophagy dynamics under various nutrient conditions and elucidating the relationship between autophagy dynamics and internal metabolic circuits.
