The Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology PAS is seeking a candidate for the position of:

Postdoctoral Researcher at the Dioscuri Centre for Metabolic Diseases

Number of available positions: 1

Place of work: Dioscuri Centre for Metabolic Diseases

Researcher career profiles (R1-R4): Recognized researcher (R2)

Field of science: Biology, biomedicine, biochemistry, physiology, metabolism

Type of recruitment: NCN OPUS 23 (Polish National Science Centre grant)

Requirements:

• Doctoral degree in the field of biology, medicine, biotechnology or related field obtained not earlier than 7 years before the year of employment in the project (not including maternity leaves),
• Experience in cell culture, molecular biology and/or biochemistry techniques; expertise in working with mice or other rodents will be in plus,

• Good spoken and written English,
• Very good organizational skills, especially project and time management skills,
• Proactive approach to achieving tasks and objectives, good interpersonal skills, a collaborative attitude,
• Scientific achievements documented by publications from the JCR list.

Project description:

The position is available within the OPUS 23 project “Unraveling mechanisms and physiological outcome of lipid-evoked regulation of proteostasis in the intestine” financed by the Polish National Science Center.

The main aim of our laboratory is to understand the cross-talk of different classes of signaling molecules in regulation of metabolic homeostasis. We are especially interested in unraveling novel signaling modules promoting adipose tissue, skeletal muscles and intestine dysfunction during metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes.

In the framework of this proposal, we utilize a combination of cell biology, biochemical, and proteomic approaches as well as advanced microscopic techniques to tackle the mechanisms changing proteostasis of the enterocytes in response to lipids ingestion. We believe that the project will not only result in the identification of novel mechanisms ensuring intestinal homeostasis but will also lay the basis for the generation of new pharmacological strategies to treat metabolic and inflammatory diseases in the intestine.

Postdoctoral position is available at the laboratory of dr. Grzegorz Sumara sponsored by the Dioscuri Center of Excellence (supported by the Max Planck Society and the Polish National Science Center).
