- Comprehensive understanding and proven ability in modern approaches of molecular cell biology, imaging, and genetic manipulation
- Expertise in genetic manipulation of respective genes in metazoans, super resolution microscopy, and publications demonstrating expertise in these procedures
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken
Desirable/Nice to Have:
- Expertise in imaging and protein purification
- Experience and/or interest in working with animal models
- Familiarity with advanced bioinformatic tools (e.g., Python/R, omics data analysis)
Education and Training:

Job Description:
The postdoctoral researchers will work on an ERC related project focusing on the expression of endoplasmic reticulum export site components at mitochondria to recreate an ERES related structure at mitochondria. Responsibilities include working with a team on mechanisms by which cells secrete bulky cargoes like collagens, mucins, and chylomicrons, utilizing in vitro and in vivo analyses. The candidates will contribute to structural and functional analyses of key components such as TANGO1 and aim to visualize and characterize the route taken by bulky cargoes for their export from the ER.
