Nazwa stanowiska: Postdoctoral researcher – SonataBis12 – Dr Piotr Gerlach group
Wymagania:

Profile of candidates/requirements:
- PhD degree in virology, molecular biology, cellular biology or related fields of life sciences. PhD degree obtained not earlier than 2018 (this is a grant requirement – this period can be increased by documented health or maternity-related leaves),
- Good scholarship and hands-on experience in molecular and cell biology,
- Experience in computational biology and handling of the proteomic and datasets,
- Experience in cell culture assays and confocal microscopy,
- Experience in RNA virus infection biology projects would be an advantage,
- Very good command of English as well as team-work and communication skills.

Opis zadań:

Key responsibilities of the successful candidate will be to assess how the nascent proteome changes in the bunyaviral infection context, and/or to study compositional re-organization of the cellular translation machinery producing viral proteins. We particularly encourage candidates with a strong background in virology and human cell culture assays. Prior expertise in molecular mechanisms of RNA viruses, bioinformatical analysis of proteomic data, and/or confocal microscopy will be considered a strong asset.

Offer Description:
IMol is a modern, international institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences (the first newly established in 25 years). IMol was founded to conduct scientific research in the fields like molecular biology, chemistry, medicine and pharmacology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biophysics, and related. Its international and collaborative environment promotes both basic research as well as R&D interactions with the biotechnology and pharma industry.

At the moment, IMol is looking for a candidate for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher in Warsaw, Poland, for the implementation of the project Sonata Bis 12, financed by the National Science Center.

Group Leader: Dr. Piotr Gerlach (https://imol.institute/leaders/gerlach-group/)

Project title: “Bunyaviral strategies to reorganize and exploit cellular translation”

Download the description of the project: https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/opisy/566264-en.pdf

Offer Starting Date: 1st March 2026

Short description of the project:
We are interested in studying how bunyaviruses, segmented negative-strand RNA viruses, reorganize and exploit cellular translation during infection. We want to identify which host factors are utilized by viruses for their non-canonical translation strategies and to determine structures and function of the involved virus-host protein complexes. Our ambition is to open new avenues in the RNA virus field and to set the basis for the broad-spectrum antivirals design.
