Postdoc in Protein-RNA Biochemistry

Are you interested in Protein-RNA interactions and their role in disease? Would you like to contribute to the development of cutting-edge proteomic and genomic technologies? Come and join us at SciLifeLab!

Deadline 20.08.2023

Postdoc in Computational RNA biology and Metagenomics

We have an open position focussed on the development of novel computational approaches to study gene expression and RNA metabolism in complex bacterial samples. The candidate will focus on the multiomic integration of a wide variety of genomic data (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metadegradomics and phenotypic data). This will include the study of the crosstalk between translation regulation and mRNA decay in response to environmental and drug perturbations using novel tools that our laboratory has recently developed (Huch, Nersisyan et al. Nat microbiology 2023).

Deadline 24.Jun.2023

Metadegradome paper published in Nat Microbiology

Extremely happy to see our work our on metadegradomics published in Nature microbiology.
Kudos to Susanne and Lilit who spearheaded this work.

Postdoctoral studies in single-cell RNA biology

We have an open postdoctoral position in single-cell RNA biology. The available postdoctoral position concerns developing and applying novel genomic approaches to study RNA-protein interaction and subcellular localization at single-cell level. The candidate will focus on investigating how translation and mRNA stability are regulated, and how the disruption of those processes across cells alter cellular phenotypes in health and disease.

Deadline 27 May 2023

Transcriptional memory story published in Nat Comms.

Very happy to see our or story showing how differential regulation of mRNA stability modulates transcriptional memory in budding yeast. A great work leaded by Bingnan Li in our lab.

Not1 and Not4 inversely determine mRNA solubility and co-translational events

Our collaboration with Martine Collart Lab is finally out in Genome Research. Here we used 5PSeq to study ribosome dynamics in insoluble fractions, that are not accessible to methods such as ribosome profiling. Great collaboration.

Postdoctoral position in single-cell RNA biology

Deadline 10 March 2023

Collaborative paper published in Nat Cancer

A great manuscript led by our collaborators from the Fendt Lab showing how targeting palmitate processing inhibits breast cancer-derived lung metastasis.

Postdoctoral position in RNA biology

We have an open postdoctoral position in RNA biology. The available postdoctoral position concerns developing and applying novel genomic approaches to study RNA-protein interaction. The candidate will focus on investigation the dynamic interaction between the transcriptome and the proteome, and how the disruption of those interaction can be used to modulate gene expression and cellular phenotypes in health and disease.
