Postdoctoral Fellow in Fish Immunology at Department of Biology , University of Bergen, NORWAY
Postdoctor
At the Department of Biology there is a vacant position as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Fish Immunology Group within the project “Studies of salmon phagocytic cells – key cells in cellular immune responses. Transcriptional analyses and functional characterisation”. The position is financed by the Research Council of Norway.
The postdoctoral position is a temporary appointment, the chief objective being to qualify the selected candidate for work in senior positions in their disciplines. The term of employment for this position is three years.
It is not possible for any person to work under more than one temporary appointment for the same institution.
The primary focus of the project is, using functional genomics, to study the relationship between well-known immunostimulants, activation and function of Atlantic salmon phagocytic cells. Identified immune response patterns, at both gene and functional level in central immune cells, can be implemented to imprint and measure protective immune responses to bacterial and viral antigens and responses to immunostimulants. The project has national and international collaborators. Preference will be given to candidates who have used relevant techniques to address the project activities, and who can work well in a collaborative team.
For further information about the position please contact Professor Heidrun Wergeland,
e-mail: heidrun.wergeland@bio.uib.no, phone +47 55 58 44 43.
Applicants must have achieved a Norwegian doctorate or equivalent education abroad in a relevant area of research, or have presented the dissertation for assessment by the closing date for applications. It is a prerequisite that the dissertation has been approved before appointment is granted.
Salary will be in accordance with level 54 (code 1352) on the government salary scale; currently € 48 000 gross p.a. In the case of particularly highly qualified candidates a higher salary may be considered.
State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at large to the highest possible degree. We have therefore adopted a personnel policy objective to ensure that we achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons of various ethnic backgrounds. Persons of different ethnic backgrounds are therefore encouraged to apply for the position.
The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to the position at any time.
