Job Description:
Doctoral Candidate / Research Fellow – Imaging Ageing Endothelium at the Nanoscale (ImAgE-D)
- Work on the research topic: “High-resolution, correlative imaging of endothelial cells in the niche” within the ImAgE-D project.
- Utilize high-resolution microscopy methods to study the morphology of brain, bone-marrow, and liver endothelial cells in vitro and in situ.
- Collaborate with UiT and UniBie to access new optical tools that overcome spatial resolution limitations.
- Employ atomic force microscopy (AFM) to perform real-time measurements of living cells with nano resolution.
- Investigate the interaction of drugs with cell morphology and biomechanics and the effects on fenestrations.
- Study the role of age and gender in these processes.
- Engage in research training towards a doctorate degree, with a study period beginning upon employment.
