NORPOD is a collaborative postdoctoral program of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.
The partnership is a network of four national research centers across the Nordics and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), with complementary research expertise at the forefront of molecular medicine research.
With the NORPOD program, the Nordic EMBL Partnership aims to foster the next generation of researchers in molecular medicine by implementing joint postdoctoral research projects to nurture strong competences and research excellence.
To promote collaboration between the two labs, the successful candidate is expected to travel between the labs in Norway and Finland to conduct work required for the research project to foster synergies.
The project focuses on correcting immune cells from patients with diverse inborn errors of immunity using in-house CRISPR-Cas9 protocols at Haapaniemi lab.
The cells will then be characterized with different Next Generation Sequencing methods including single cell sequencing to verify correction of the disease phenotype.
The specific work tasks are the following:
The position can also be entirely computational and focus on analyzing single cell and other Next Generation Sequencing data. A purely computational candidate will spend more time at FIMM/Kilpinen lab.
An experimental scientists will conduct most of the experiments in NCMM and do the data analysis at FIMM.
