The position is attached to the Department of Medical Biology and the Molecular Cancer
Research Group.
The appointment is for a period of four years.
The PhD position is for a fixed term, with the objective of completion of research training to
the level of a doctoral degree. Admission to a PhD programme is a prerequisite for
employment, and the programme period starts on commencement of the position. The PhD
Candidate shall participate in the faculty's organized research training, and the PhD project
shall be completed during the period of employment. Information about the application
process for admission to the PhD programme, application form and regulations for the
degree of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) are available at the following address:

Further information about the position is available by contacting ProfessorTerje Johansen.
Email: terje.johansen@uit.no. Phone: 47 77 644720.
The position's affiliationThe Faculty of Health Sciences has approximately 1000 staff
members, 280 phd-students and 2700 students. The Faculty of Health Sciences is divided

into eight departments.

More than 200 staff members from all over the world have their workplace at the
Department of Medical Biology (IMB). The department consists of 11 research groups
concentrated on fundamental biomedical research problems, including research on various
cancer forms, cardiovascular diseases, the body's immune system and anti-biotic resistance.
The Department is also involved in marine bio-prospecting and the development of new
medicines.
IMB provides education for students studying programmes in medicine, dentistry, biomedical
laboratory sciences, biomedicine and pharmacy.
This position is organized within the Molecular Cancer Research Group (see
http:\\uit.no\autophagy). The group performs basic research with the main focus on
selective autophagy and cell signalling. Selective autophagy is highly relevant in diseases
such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, muscle- and heart diseases and diabetes. We
have found that at the molecular level, autophagy can act selectively through a specific
interaction between p62/SQSTM1, and other recently discovered autophagy receptors, with
the ATG8 family of ubiquitin-like proteins. The ATG8 family proteins are lipidated and directly

bound to the forming autophagosomes. Our results suggest that p62 and the related protein
NBR1 are key players in selective autophagy of ubiquitinated protein aggregates. Both p62
and NBR1 are involved in clearing intracellular bacteria by autophagy and implicated in
selective autophagy of peroxisomes and midbodies.
Specific protein-protein interactions and their functional consequences are being addressed
in all projects using a set of biochemical-, cell biological- and immunological tools.
Bioimaging and proteomics are important in the research strategy of the group. Our
research is funded by the Norwegian Cancer Society and the Norwegian Research Council in
addition to the support we receive from UiT.
The position's field of research/research project and other dutiesThe successful
applicant is going to work on the project entitled "Roles of p62/SQSTM1 bodies in selective
autophagy and stress signalling" funded by the University of Troms. The project involves
identification of substrates degraded by p62 during cellular stress and elucidation of
functions carried out by these substrates. Are the substrates located to p62 bodies and what
is the role of p62 bodies in degrading signalling complexes? Qualification requirementsThe
successful applicant must fulfil the requirements for admission to the faculty's PhD
