Currently, IMol is seeking highly motivated candidates for the position of: Postdoc in Dr Maciej Cieśla group
Our group is interested in understanding how RNA metabolism is integrated during early steps of stem cell activation. We use different types of cellular and tissue systems as test tubes to understand the dynamics of functional coordination of the macromolecular machinery of the spliceosome. Collectively, we want to understand the regulation of splicing when stem cells decide their fate between self-renewal and differentiation. The key responsibility of the successful candidate will be to delineate dependencies in spliceosome composition-to-function upon exit from pluripotency of embryonic stem cells and to study the impact of differential splicing on a selection of differentiation trajectories during development. These goals will be achieved by applying state-of-the-art techniques available in the lab, including CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, high-throughput profiling of transcriptomes and translatomes, molecular biology assays, bioinformatic analysis, and primary cell cultures in vitro and in vivo. We particularly encourage applications from candidates with a computational biology background and/or strong track in cellular and molecular approaches. Prior expertise in stem cell biology, including development, will be considered a strong asset.
We offer:
- Start date: 6th October (or as soon as possible)
- Full-time position for up to 3 years with a possibility of extension. Initial contract signed for 6 months or longer
- Salary of 11.000 PLN gross/month (comparison to Polish standard salaries: minimal salary – ca. 4.700 PLN gross/month; average salary – ca. 9.000 PLN gross/month; salary of academic full professor – 9.370 PLN gross/month; salary of academic adjunct – 6.840 PLN gross/month)
- Medical package and social benefits (sports card, holiday bonus, 36 days of paid holiday per year)
- Flexible working hours
- Collaborative and supportive work culture
- Participation in an ambitious interdisciplinary project
- Working with state-of-the-art research equipment
- Opportunity to gain unique professional experience.
