Post description:
 
We offer two postdoctoral research positions in the Cell Signaling Research Group led by Dr. Francesc Posas and Dr. Eulàlia de Nadal), at the Pompeu Fabra University, Barcelona, Spain.
 
The main objective of our group is the study of the molecular mechanisms of signal transduction mediated by SAPKs (Stress Activated Protein Kinases) in yeast cells, as well as to understand the complexity of adaptive responses generated by these enzymes. Regulation of gene expression and cell cycle are two of the most important aspects for cell adaptation to stress [Nadal-Ribelles M. et al, Mol Cell (2014); Duch A. et al, Nature (2013); Nadal-Ribelles M. et al, Genome Biol (2012); de Nadal E. and Posas F., Nat. Rev. Genet. (2011); Solé C. et al., EMBO J (2011); Regot S. et al., Nature (2011)].
 
We are looking for a highly motivated research scientist with consolidated experience in biochemistry and/or yeast genetics to work in these fields.
