The International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines (IMol) Polish Academy of Sciences, was constituted in December 2020, in partnership with the University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany and the University of Warsaw, Poland.
IMol has been established to conduct scientific research and provide training in the fields of biological, chemical, medical, biotechnological, bioinformatics, biophysical, pharmacological, and similar sciences, in the international environment conducive to collaborative efforts, research and development interactions with the biotechnological industry, and wide dissemination of our results.
Currently, IMol is seeking highly motivated candidates for the position of: POSTDOC
A few words about the research group:
Laboratory of Mitochondrial Biogenesis led by Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska is a research group with an excellent publication record in molecular cell biology. We are interested in fundamental cellular mechanisms in physiology as well as in pathology and ageing. Our research is focused on mechanisms of protein import to mitochondria and on the cellular response to dysfunction of these mechanisms. We use diverse model systems such as human cells, yeast, fish Danio rerio and worm Caenorhabditis elegans.
Project leader: Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska, PhD
Project title: “Effects of proteasome inhibition on mitochondrial homeostasis.”
Project description: The great majority of proteins that build mitochondria are encoded in the nuclear genome, synthesized by cytosolic ribosomes in precursor forms and actively transported to their target location in mitochondria. Recent studies, with the major contribution of our group, showed that the proteasome plays an important role in the quality control of proteins transported to mitochondria and that proteasome inhibitors have therapeutic potential against some mitochondrial diseases. This project aims to explore the influence of proteasomal inhibition on fully functional and defective mitochondria.
We offer:
- Work in an active team in an excellent scientific environment
- Access to the state-of-the-art equipment and facilities
- Participation in courses and conferences
- Comprehensive training in biochemistry, cell and molecular biology techniques
- Type of contract: full-time, fixed-time contract of employment, ca. 6.900 PLN net/month
Description of your tasks:
- Performing experiments using biochemical, cell and molecular biology techniques (independently and in collaboration with other team members)
- Designing experiments and analysing data
- Writing manuscripts
- Participation in the supervision of MSc and PhD students
- Participation in the preparation of grant applications
- Active participation in lab meetings, scientific seminars and conferences
Requirements:
- Doctoral degree in molecular biology, genetics or biochemistry;
