A three-year postdoctoral position is available at the University of Oslo under a project devoted to developing an innovative microfluidic platform for human iPS cell-based neurodegenerative disease modeling. The project focuses on differentiating iPS cells to neurons, glia and other cell types involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), and on manipulating these cell types in the in vitro platform. The postdoctoral fellow will work with two research groups, one specializing in ALS, the other in PD, but with similar utilization of the in vitro platform. The project includes strong collaboration with technology partners that are developing a powerful, versatile, multi-functionalized in vitro platform that can accelerate research into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and drug screening. 

Applicants should have prior expertise with iPS cell culturing and differentiation protocols. Experience with gene editing, electrophysiology and/or optical recording techniques is also valuable, but not strictly necessary. We are looking for candidates who are strongly motivated to advance and implement the cellular components of the platform and to interact with the various technology partners to test platform functionalities such as optical and electrical measurements of cell function, miniaturized molecular delivery and sampling, mechanical stimulation and sensing, and functionalized surfaces. The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s Convergent Technology program.
