1. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The researcher appointed will be part of the project “The Medicalisation of Democratic Rights in the Debate about Abortion (MEDRA): The US, Ireland and Argentina”, which explores the tensions between knowledge production and democratic governance in debates about abortion. The project will analyze ongoing debates about the curtailing or extension of the right to abortion, with a focus on Ireland, the US, and Argentina. The group will study how medical knowledge is utilized by states to control populations and restrict their freedom – but also how different grassroot movements use the same medical knowledge for a wide variety of purposes.
Application Deadline: 26th May 2023
2. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The candidate will work in the Evolution, eDNA, Genomics and Ethnobotany (EDGE) research group, at the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo. The EDGE group is composed of an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in areas ranging from plant speciation and phylogenomics, the development of metabarcoding as a next-generation biodiversity assessment tool for society, and people’s influence on wild plants through use and trade throughout history. The Kool group within the EDGE group combines ethnobotany with studies on historical human influence on plant distribution using comparative phylogenetic methods and is closely connected with the Botanical Garden.
Application Deadline: 31st May 2023
3. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The dental field faces a crucial issue of identifying and characterizing stem cells for repair and regeneration, as recent studies suggest that odontoblasts may have differentiation plasticity. Continuous renewal occurs in the oral epithelium, which serves as a barrier between the oral environment and deeper tissues. Understanding the molecular pathways, cell cycle regulation, and gene interactions governing germ population renewal is crucial for oral bone development and tissue regeneration.
Application Deadline: 6th June 2023

6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The aim of the research project is to obtain new information on the fundamental properties of atomic nuclei in hot, astrophysical environments, and the impact of these properties on neutron-induced reaction rates that are input for large-scale network calculations of heavy-element nucleosynthesis. Neutron-induced reactions relevant to the rapid neutron-capture process and the intermediate neutron-capture process are of particular interest.
Application Deadline: 10th June 2023
7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We seek a PhD-holding research enthusiast, with an interest in modeling and designing renewable energy systems in Norway, together with young people across the country. The main focus of this Postdoc will be to integrate the factors that shape the wind power deployment potential, as seen by young people, into a spatially disaggregated energy system model for Norway (highRES Norway model) to understand their implications for the design of net-zero energy systems.
Application Deadline: 24th May 2023
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The postdoc project is part of a new project called “Conquering the subsurface. The role of urban geology in sustainable development”. The project involves collaboration between researchers at the Department of Geosciences, including the sections for Crustal processes and Environmental Geology, the Natural History Museum, and geoscientists working in the industry, the institute and municipality sectors. The PhD will work in a dynamic research environment together with other PhD student, postdocs, and researchers.
Application Deadline: 31st May 2023
9. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research position at the Center for Planetary Habitability (PHAB), a new Norwegian Center of Excellence (from July 2023), and organized as a section at the Department of Geosciences. Our Website is under construction, but PHAB’s main goal, based on detailed studies of Earth and our solar system, is to develop predictive models to identify habitable planets around other stars.
PHAB research activities comprise three interrelated research themes: (1) Planets and Early Earth, (2) Modern Earth and (3) Exo-Earths. The postdoctoral position is linked to the ‘Planets and Early Earth’ theme, and we seek a motivated postdoctoral researcher to explore fundamental changes in the Early Earth System (chemically, thermally, physically, and/or tectonically).
Application Deadline: 10th June 2023
10. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Most decarbonization scenarios assign a major role to rapid diffusion and scaling of CCUS. At the same time, most carbon capture technologies are rather immature, and needed infrastructure and markets for CO2 transport, storage and utilization remain underdeveloped. A new sociotechnical system for CO2 removal must be created across multiple sectors and countries for CCUS to diffuse. Such new system building is a major challenge for CCUS actors. Key topics across the projects include but are not limited to actor strategies for system building, policy missions, strategies, and mixes to support CCUS, or broader perspectives on the role of carbon removal in energy transitions. We expect that the postdoc project will involve collaborations with members of the funding research projects.
Application Deadline: 6th June 2023
11. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The candidate is expected to investigate sound and movement patterns and their cross-modal temporal coordination in multimedia recordings of music and dance from West Africa. Tasks will include data set preparation, feature extraction, data visualisation, pattern recognition, and computational cross-modal analysis. The chosen candidate will work in a team with ethnomusicologists, dance scholars, cognitive scientists, and data/computer scientists.
Application Deadline: 15th August 2023
12. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The position is part of the SmartSense consortium funded by the Research Council of Norway and the University of Oslo. The consortium aims to investigate, in mouse models, how adolescence sleep deprivation elicits long-term metabolic imbalance, by deciphering molecular mechanisms of the brain-adipose tissue crosstalk. The consortium integrates local expertise in epigenetics (Philippe Collas; Genome Biol 2022, Nat Genet 2019, J Cell Biol 2017), adipose tissue biology (Nolwenn Briand: Genome Biol 2020, J Cell Biol 2017, Diabetes 2017), and rodent neurophysiology (Charlotte Boccara); Nature Comm 2022, Science 2019, Science 2017). A state-of-the-art animal facility, the largest in Norway, is localized in the Institute.
Application Deadline: 26th May 2023
13. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Behavioural flexibility, which is the ability to appropriately adjust one’s behaviour in response to a changing environment, is associated with improved quality of life and a higher resilience to stressors. Conversely, behavioural inflexibility is linked with several psychiatric disorders and conditions. Despite the key role for behavioural flexibility in health and wellbeing, its neurobiological basis remains elusive. Emerging evidence suggests that the neuropeptide oxytocin plays a critical role in behavioural flexibility. The overall objective of the funded project is to unravel oxytocin’s role in behavioural flexibility.

14. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Immunotherapy has dramatically improved outcomes for cancer patients. A single injection of gene-modified immune cells equipped with a therapeutic receptor that targets cancer cells can cure several cancer types originating from blood cells. However, the success of gene therapy has not yet been extended to other cancer types, where two major challenges are i) difficulties in identifying safe target molecules and efficacious immune receptors that recognize them, and ii) immune-suppressive mechanisms in the tumor.
The Precision Immunotherapy Alliance (PRIMA) will use the immune system of healthy donors to overcome these bottlenecks and extend cell-based immunotherapy to a range of blood and solid cancers. Novel categories of therapeutic targets that are shared among large numbers of patients can thereby be exploited. Other targets for precision immunotherapy will be identified by a combination of sophisticated computational analysis tools and experiments that identify cell types and how they interact in the tumor. A combination of gene-modified immune cells and new agents that overcome tumor defense mechanisms may radically improve cancer therapy.
