Position available for a PhD student or a post-doc – breast cancer (1. July ´15)

Position available for a PhD student or a post-doc

Currently, we are launching a project to identify additional genes with a potential role in breast cancer. The project involves analysing the transcriptomes (RNA-Seq) of breast tumors to identify changes in genes, verifying their oncogenic potential in breast cancer cell lines and relating their effect with clinical and pathological parameters in breast cancer patients. The methods used in the project include traditional cellular and molecular biology techniques combined with analysis of next generation sequence data.

Those who would like to join the project are encouraged to send applications (letter of interest, CV and 3 references) or inquiries to ingar@landspitali.is until July 1st, 2015.
