Nazwa stanowiska: Postdoctoral Researcher
Wymagania:
CANDIDATE PROFILE:
We are looking for a researcher who:
1. Holds (or is about to obtain) a PhD in molecular biology, biochemistry, or biophysics. The PhD degree should be obtained in the year of employment in the project or within 7 years before 1 January of the year of employment in the project
2. Fulfills the formal criteria outlined in paragraph 2, point 2.1.1 of the NCN regulations https://shorturl.at/qMQYr
3. Has solid expertise in RNA or protein biochemistry; experience with single-molecule techniques will be a plus
4. Is driven by curiosity about RNA regulation mechanisms
5. Has a strong publication record and a demonstrated ability to work independently
6. Communicates fluently in English (written and oral)
7. Is enthusiastic about working in an interdisciplinary, international, and collaborative environment
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
You will explore the molecular logic by which bacteria decide the fate of their RNAs - whether to translate, store, or degrade them. Using biochemical reconstitution, fluorescent labeling, and single-molecule imaging, you will explore how molecular machines like Hfq, small RNAs, ribosomes and the degradosome coordinate to control gene expression.
In addition, you will:
1. Design and conduct experiments using biochemistry, molecular biology, and single-molecule imaging
2. Analyze complex datasets (kinetics, FRET traces, colocalization)
3. Initiate and drive new subprojects
4. Mentor PhD students and collaborate closely within the group and with partners abroad
5. Present results at international conferences and prepare high-impact publications
