Postdoc Fellowship in Programmed Translational: Join our cutting-edge research team at Stockholm University to explore the regulation of protein translation and stop codon readthrough. This postdoctoral fellowship offers an exciting opportunity to work on comprehensive genome maps of stop codon readthrough and identify the elements controlling its regulation.
Postdoc Fellowship in Programmed Translational Stop Codon Readthrough
Designation: Postdoctoral Scientist
Location: Stockholm University, Department of Molecular Biosciences, The Wenner-Gren Institute
Research Area: Regulation of Protein Translation and Stop Codon Readthrough
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in a field related to Molecular Biosciences
- Expertise in molecular biology techniques, such as RNA-seq or Ribo-seq
- Fluency in spoken and written English
- Strong track record of carrying out and finalizing research projects
- Prior experience with computational biology (e.g., ability to work in Linux environment, basic scripting)
- PhD degree completed no more than three years before the application deadline
Job Description:
The focus of this fellowship will be on the regulation of protein translation and stop codon readthrough. The primary objective is to generate comprehensive genome maps of stop codon readthrough and to identify the cis- and trans-regulatory elements that control stop codon readthrough in a temporal and spatial manner. This will be accomplished through a combination of experimental and computational methods, including Ribo-Seq, RNA pull-down and mass spectrometry, reporter assays in cells and tissues, and computational sequence analyses. The postdoctoral scientist will collaborate closely with research teams in an interdisciplinary environment and receive extensive training and supervision to analyze the produced omics sequence data.
How to Apply:
Applications should be submitted electronically as a single PDF file to the following address: ylva.engstrom@su.se. Further information about the project and conditions of the fellowship can be obtained from Ylva Engström or Marc Friedlander.
Last Date for Apply: April 12, 2024
