A postdoc position is available in the Saha Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) in Vienna (Austria) on molecular mechanisms of germ cell fate in C. elegans; with specific emphasis on role of the conserved non-membrane-bound organelle ‘Nuage’ (called ‘P granule’ in C. elegans). The project is at the interface of an important biological question related to fertility and an emerging field studying the role of liquidliquid phase separation in biological systems. P granule was the first cellular organelle to be characterized as being liquid-like, but how it contributes to germ cell fate remains unclear
Requirements:
The ideal candidate should be highly motivated, creative, independent and driven by understanding how biological systems work at the molecular mechanistic level. S/he should hold a PhD in biochemistry, biophysics, cell or developmental biology. Background in RNA biology or nuclear import/export mechanisms is desirable. Prior experience with C. elegans is valuable but not required
