Postdoc position in Cell Signaling

Description:

Postdoctoral position is available to study various aspects of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling. Current focus is on non-canonical RTK signaling and development of tools facilitating repositioning of clinically used RTK inhibitors. While our primary interest is the FGF pathway, projects on the entire RTK family are also running in the lab (Elife 2017;6. pii: e21536).

More about our research:
Sci Transl Med. 2021;13(592):eaba4226.
EMBO Mol Med. 2020;12(11):e11739.
PNAS 2019;116(10):4316-4325.
Sci Signal. 2018;11(548). pii: eaap8608.

The successful candidate should:

• be a researcher who has received a PhD or its equivalent within the last 7 years, or will receive a PhD by the position start at July 2022;
• be a researcher who has worked at least 2 whole years in the last 3 years outside the territory of the Czech Republic in the field of research with a working time of at least 0.5 full-time equivalent, or who has been PhD student (or equivalent) abroad;
• clearly demonstrate early signs of success, i.e. excellent command of his/her field, or strong track record for the career stage, in the last 3 years at least 3 publication outputs (“articles”) above the field median (at least 2 of them in Q1) listed by the Web of Science.

Specific criteria can be filled:

Candidate should have a strong background in biochemistry, molecular biology or cell biology. Experience with growth factor signaling is advantage but not required.

The applicant shall submit:

• a CV including a list of publication activity;
• a motivation letter, including a short description of research focus and topic which the candidate will work on, justification of the need considering the field;
• contact information of at least two references (name, position, telephone number);
