Posted: 10 November 2026 - Oslo, Norway
A 3-year PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the University of Oslo. The project investigates how extracellular vesicles from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) alter the phenotype of normal cells, such as endothelial cells, to support tumor growth. The candidate will apply experimental methods to assess changes in proliferation, intracellular Ca2+ signaling, and metabolic profiles. The position includes dedicated supervision, research training, and the expectation to produce three scientific papers and a doctoral thesis. Admission to the PhD programme at the Faculty of Dentistry is required.
