Genome dynamics of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cancer development
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship position at Faculty of Health Sciences, OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, Department of Life Sciences and Health. This is an opportunity to join the cross-institutional research group HPV-SEQ with a strong international network. Our main goals are: 1) To discover HPV cancer biomarkers 2) To delineate HPV evolution 3) To develop HPV detection and characterization methods. We take advantage of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Technology to reach our goals. Read more about the group and our activities here.
The Ph.d. degree will be affiliated to the PhD Programme in Health Sciences. The research fellowship period is three years without a teaching obligation / required duties.
Area of Research
The PhD candidate will sequence HPV genomes in clinical samples and cell lines to study genomic diversity related to cancer progression. Human papillomavirus infections may in rare cases lead to cancer, particularly but not exclusively to that of the cervix. There is a need to better understand carcinogenesis and to develop new tests that can determine if an HPV infection is on track to form malignant cell transformations leading to cancer. The PhD will explore mutations of the HPV genome in clinical samples using sequencing and bioinformatics followed by clinical and evolutionary interpretation.
