PhD Position in megakaryocyte biology, University Hospital Würzburg, Germany

The Emmy Noether Research Group led by Dr. Zoltan Nagy at the Institute of Experimental Biomedicine, University Hospital Würzburg, is offering a PhD position in megakaryocyte biology as part of a DFG-funded project.

The project explores fundamental mechanisms in hematology, focusing on megakaryocyte maturation and platelet biogenesis. Cutting-edge methodologies include single-cell transcriptomics, CRISPR gene editing, transgenic mouse models, and advanced imaging techniques. The position provides comprehensive training, personalized mentoring, and access to state-of-the-art facilities, fostering a collaborative environment for professional growth.

More details and how to apply. The start date will be as soon as possible. Contact Dr. Zoltan Nagy for queries.

Application deadline: 15 December 2024

Postdoctoral position in structural biology, University of Bordeaux, France

We are delighted to share with you an Inserm postdoctoral fellowship position for the period of 24 months, in the field of biophysics and structural biology. The work will be carried out at the ARNA laboratory (Nucleic Acids: Natural and Artificial Regulations) located at the University of Bordeaux. The project is at the interface between NMR and cryo-EM, in order to study complexes made by regulatory proteins and DNA. Preferences will be given to candidates having extensive experience in structural calculations by NMR methods, including protein recombinant expression in E. coli. Please send your CV and referees to [email protected] and get more information from this FEBS Network post. Screening of applications started in September 2024 and will continue until a suitable candidate is found.

Postdoc position in plant-microbe interactions & regulatory networks, Yale University, USA

The newly established Cantó-Pastor lab in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology at Yale University is seeking a  Postdoctoral Scholar. This fully funded position is flexible in scope but centered on the development of new transcriptomic and microscopy tools to study the regulation of plant immunity and systemic resistance at a single cell level.

The Cantó-Pastor lab is officially opening in October 2024. This research group is dedicated to understanding how plants let some beneficial soil microbes into their roots while keeping pathogens at bay. We focus primarily on the regulatory networks that influence plant immunity during plant-microbe interactions. They develop transcriptomics, single cell-omics, and microscopy methods to explore fundamental question in plant immunity and cell type-specific regulatory mechanisms.

Applicants must hold a PhD. Degree (or equivalent) in plant sciences, molecular biology, omics, or related fields. Get more information on the position, candidate requirements, application process and contact details on the FEBS Network and please note that screening of applications will begin in mid October 2024 and will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
