Position available:

Researcher in development of stem cell based embryo models, Oslo University Hospital.
 
About the position:
The Hybrid Technology Hub (HTH) Centre of Excellence at Oslo University Hospital and the University of Oslo, Norway, is seeking a Researcher for a 1-year, full-time position to contribute to the development of of stem cell based embryo models (SCBEM).

The Centre headed by Prof. Stefan Krauss is located at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences at University of Oslo. The Centre develops innovative human 3D models for biomedical research (https://www.med.uio.no/hth/english/). In the frame of the European Innovation Council project consortium “supervised morphogenesis in gastruloids” (SUMO), the Krauss group has established a group that works on mouse and human SCBEM including gastruloids. The overall aim of the work is to advance SCBEM to the stage of organ induction.
 
The work will include culture and differentiation of embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, culture of SCBEM under various conditions. The researcher will also assist with characterizing SCBEMs by advanced imaging and analytical techniques including confocal microscopy and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). 

Oslo University Hospital is a workplace with great diversity. We believe this is crucial for solving our tasks in the best possible way. We want this diversity to be reflected among the applicants for our positions, and we encourage all qualified candidates, regardless of background, to apply!
