Main content
The Michael Sars Centre is seeking outstanding candidates addressing fundamental questions in molecular, cellular and organismal biology using marine/aquatic organisms. Research projects at the Centre typically cover a broad range of academic disciplines including cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, stem cells and regeneration, neurobiology, physiology and reproductive biology, genomics and evolution. Research projects leveraging quantitative, genomics and/or systems approaches to tackle innovative and impactful problems in marine life sciences, from molecular to population scales and/or at the interface between the organism and the environment are encouraged.
The Centre currently has 6 research groups, each with its own group leader, and a total of approximately 12 researchers, 11 postdoctoral fellows, 9 PhD fellows, 20 technical and 6 administrative employees. The Centre provides excellent internal resources for the research (postdocs, PhD students, technicians, lab space and project-specific facilities). Operations at the Centre are supported by the University of Bergen and by a growing portfolio of externally funded projects.
Successful candidates for the position will be offered a contract as research scientist with function as group leader, subject to evaluation within the first 6-year period for an additional 4 years, according to the EMBL-model. An additional 4 years is dependent on performance and available funding at the time of evaluation.
