PhD position is available immediately to study various aspects of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling. Current focus is on non-canonical RTK signaling, characterization of RTK signaling complexes, RTK-mediated regulation of primary cilia, and development of tools facilitating re-purposing of clinically used RTK inhibitors. While our primary interest is FGF pathway, we are expanding to the entire human RTK family.

PhD positions are in Biomedical Sciences PhD program - 4 years, full time doctoral studies at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Brno, Czech Republic (funded by standard MU scholarship in addition to grant contract).
