Post-Doc opportunities in Molecular Infection Biology/Microbiology and Protein Quality Control
Post-doctoral candidates have the opportunity to apply to post-doctoral fellowships available from Swedish or European funding agencies. They can also compete for funding available in the laboratory. The successful candidate will participate in activities provided by the Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS), Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR) at Umeå University and the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine, thus providing interaction with researchers from different research fields and access to various scientific and technical expertises.
The proposed projects are related to the field of protein quality control (chaperones, proteases) in the Gram-positive bacterial pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus pyogenes.
LOCATION:
Our new lab in Sweden belongs to the MIMS (The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden (MIMS) within the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine). MIMS constitutes the Swedish node within the Nordic partnership for Molecular Medicine that is formed together with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the Finland and Norway nodes. MIMS is established within the Umeå Centre for Microbial Research (UCMR) at Umeå University. The groups of the MIMS work in modern laboratories with well-equipped common facilities and platforms in a creative, inspiring and highly interactive environment.
APPLICATION PROCESS:
Highly qualified and motivated fellows from all over the world are invited to apply. Applicants must hold or anticipate receiving within the next months a PhD degree in the fields relevant for the position. Applicants should have a high interest in the field of microbiology, RNA and protein biology and be willing to take on a scientific and technical challenge. A strong background in knowledge and techniques of molecular biology, RNA or protein biochemistry and microbiology and excellent English knowledge is highly desirable.
Applicants should send:
- a cover letter
- a brief statement of research experience and interests,
- a CV,
- a list of publications
- three letters of reference (or the names of three referees) to
Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier
