2 Postdoctoral Positions in Neuroscience
Institute of Neuroscience, Alicante (Spain)
We are looking for talented and motivated candidates with an interest in Neuroscience to investigate how juvenile plasticity shapes cognitive processing and adaptive emotional behaviors.
We have a strong interest on tackling how dysfunction of the underlying processes drive brain diseases—from schizophrenia or depression to demyelinating disorders, and devising strategies to harness them for therapeutics.
The specific projects will focus on: 1) synapse-level regulation of mRNA translation by novel multiprotein complexes during cognitive tasks and stress exposure; 2) roles of non-conventional glutamate receptors in neural circuits that mediate emotional and social adaptation. Tools will involve a variety of genetically-modified mice, 3D-reconstruction of circuits and connections, activity manipulations and RiboTrap/RNAseq analysis (Nature Rev Neuroscience, 17, 623, 2016; Nature Medicine, 19, 1030, 2013; eLife e71575, 2021; Cell Reports 30, 112477, 2023). Applicants should have a PhD in Neuroscience or related discipline, and a solid background in biochemistry/cell biology, mRNA biology, imaging methods, or mouse genetics/Crispr techniques. Experience in the tracing of synaptic circuits or quantitative imaging approaches will be valued.
Our lab provides an alive and bilingual scientific environment at the Institute of Neuroscience (IN) de Alicante, by the Mediterranean Sea. The IN hosts research groups exploring the development, structure and function of the nervous system using a broad repertoire of state-of the-art approaches (https://in.umh-csic.es/en/). Our team is additionally engaged in international collaborations that allow us to expand knowledge and resources.
The position will be initially funded for 2 years; competitive candidates should be committed to becoming self-funded with fellowships and will have the opportunity to mentor Master and predoctoral students.
Candidates should submit CV and contact information for 3 references to: Dr. Isabel Pérez-Otaño [otano@umh.es]
Assistant Professor
The Department of Biology (www.biol.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.
The assistant professorship is expected to develop a world-leading research program in tissue damage and repair with a focus on mechanistic cellular and molecular studies. The successful
candidate should integrate a variety of experimental approaches to gain insight into the mechanisms underlying the repair of injured tissues after various types of insults.
Topics/approaches may include analysis of (i) the heterogeneity of injured/healing tissues and the corresponding healing processes, (ii) the interaction of different resident and invading immune cell types, (iii) the signalling events that drive regeneration versus repair, (iv) the role of cell-matrix interactions in repair, (v) the influence of environment and stress factors (including mechanical factors, infection, toxins, UV irradiation) on the healing response, (vi) genetic and epigenetic mechanisms driving the response of tissues to injury, (vii) the role of the microbiome in the control of tissue repair and regeneration, (viii) the development of innovative approaches and technologies for the analysis of tissue repair/regeneration (e.g. advanced in vivo imaging) and the improvement of the repair process based on biological/biomechanical information. Candidates with an interest in translating fundamental understandings into potential therapeutic applications are also encouraged to apply.
At the assistant professor level, commitment to teaching and the ability to lead a research group are expected. The new assistant professor will engage and contribute to the molecular health sciences teaching programme at the undergraduate and graduate levels (teaching may be in German or English). Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of young scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.
ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
Please apply online: www.facultyaffairs.ethz.ch
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a statement of future research and teaching interests, a description of the leadership philosophy, a description of the three most important achievements, and a certificate of the highest degree. The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 15 May 2024.
Post-doctoral position in Immunology/Cancer Biology at the Cava lab
The Cava lab, situated at the Laboratory of Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) and the Department of Molecular Biology (Umeå University), is a dynamic research environment focused on exploring bacterial cell wall biology and genetics. Our research spans the intersection of basic and clinical investigations.
Our findings have revealed that numerous bacteria modify the chemistry of their cell walls, leading to significant impacts on both innate and adaptive immune responses in the intestine. In this project, our objective is to delve into the biological significance of cell wall chemical remodelling within the context of metabolic interactions between the microbiota and the host. Specifically, we aim to understand how these interactions may contribute to the development of chronic inflammatory disorders of the intestine.
Qualifications
Candidate must hold a university degree in Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, Immunology or Microbiology equivalent to a European University PhD at the time of recruitment. You should be highly motivated, have very good communication skills and the ability to interact in a team. You must have a good working knowledge of standard molecular biology, microbiology, and immunology techniques. It will be particularly qualifying to have demonstrated expertise in characterizing pattern recognition receptors and their signaling pathways. You need to be skilled in both oral and written communication in English.
Application
A complete application (MS Word or PDF) should be submitted electronically in English to Felipe Cava (felipe.cava@umu.se) including: (i) a cover letter summarizing your qualifications and motives for applying, (ii) a curriculum vitae, and (iii) the names and contacts of three references.
For more information, please contact Dr. Cava: felipe.cava@umu.se or Dr. Bueno: emilio.bueno@umu.se
