Narodowe Centrum Nauki prezentuje bazę ogłoszeń o wolnych stanowiskach pracy przy projektach finansowanych przez Centrum. Narodowe Centrum Nauki nie ponosi odpowiedzialności za treść i wiarygodność przesyłanych ofert pracy.
Uprzejmie informujemy o nowych warunkach zatrudniania osób na stanowiska typu post-doc: limit czasu upływającego od uzyskania stopnia doktora dla aplikujących na te stanowiska kobiet może być przedłużony o 1,5 roku za każde urodzone bądź przysposobione dziecko.
Requirements for the candidate:
• Master’s degree in biology, biochemistry, or a related field
• Solid knowledge of the fundamentals of molecular biology and biochemistry
• Practical laboratory experience and familiarity with basic molecular biology techniques
• Proficiency in spoken and written English
• Curiosity, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team
• Willingness to learn and take on new challenges; ability to work independently and think analytically
• Additional asset: experience working with bacteriophages, RNA biochemistry, or protein purification
• Additional asset: knowledge of bioinformatics, transcriptomic data analysis, or microscopy
As a PhD student, you will work at the interface of molecular microbiology and RNA biology, focusing on Acinetobacter baumannii and its interactions with bacteriophages. You will design and execute infection experiments using genetically distinct phages and combine time-resolved RNA-seq, interactome mapping (CRAC, RIL-Seq, co-IP/MS) with in vitro biochemical and single-molecule assays to dissect the functions of RNA-binding proteins. You will purify proteins, fluorescently label RNAs, and analyze complex datasets to build mechanistic models of RNA-protein interactions and their functional consequences.
