At least one first-author publication in a relevant journal
Self-motivated person with a strong commitment to basic research

Job/Position Description-

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on the project focused on the development of capturing techniques for non-canonical 5’ capped RNA. Recently, we have discovered an entirely new class of 5’ RNA caps in bacteria, based on the dinucleoside polyphosphate structure.

This postdoctoral project will be focused on identification of RNA bearing these dinucleoside polyphosphate caps.

After the development of a specific method to identify modified RNA sequences, the function of modified RNA, the biogenesis, biodegradation, and mechanisms of interaction of this particular RNA with host cell targets will be the objective of further studies.

Working in a young, promising, and progressive scientific team
Training, with possible opportunities in the form of specialized courses
5 weeks of vacation + 3 sick days, allowance for supplementary pension insurance, and other institution benefits

How to Apply-

All the applicants should send their CV with a list of publications, motivation letter, and contact details of 2-3 referees to Dr. Hana Cahová with subject POSTDOC_HC_2020.
