About the position

The Hybrid Technology Hub Centre of Excellence at Oslo University Hospital and University of Oslo, Norway is currently accepting applications for a 6 months position as a laboratory engineer to work on stem cell derived organoids (100 % position).

The Centre headed by Prof. Stefan Krauss is located at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences at University of Oslo, with partners at the University of Glasgow and Imperial College, London. The overall objective of the Centre is to develop innovative human 3D models (3D organoids and organ-on-chip systems) for experimental drug testing and animal testing replacement (https://www.med.uio.no/hth/english/).

The laboratory engineer will participate in the development of advanced in vitro liver organoids for disease modelling and drug testing. The work will include culture and differentiation of human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, culture of 3D organoids, and culture of 3D organoids in a microfluidic platform under various conditions including drug testing. The laboratory engineer will also assist with RNA/DNA isolation, RNA-seq library preparation and ELISA.
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!
