'A postdoctoral position is available for qualified graduates to pursue further training in genetics/molecular biology. We use molecular and classic genetics approaches to examine the mechanisms of DNA repair and recombination in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae – a model eukaryotic organism. The successful candidate will investigate genetic and environmental factors that channel repair of double-strand DNA breaks into dangerous repair pathways (break-induced replication, single-strand annealing, and breakage-fusion-bridge cycles) leading to genomic instabilities.

Evolva is an early/mid stage biotech and drug discovery company using its proprietary platform technology to produce small molecular weight, active compounds. We rely on genetic engineering of both yeast and E. coli, to create novel “genetic chemistry” for in-house screening in pharmaceutically relevant, cell based assays.
+
'''Description''': The De Wulf lab at the Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento, Italy, is looking for an outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral scientist to study the biological activity of oncogenic kinetochore kinase Rio1.

We have now been able to functionally express the FRET sensors also in the cytoplasm of yeast and to establish a high throughput screening platform.

Next steps will be to verify the hits using a new microfluidic platform, to test the effect on other sugar fluxes using FRET sensors for sucrose, maltose and ribose and to place the kinases into signaling networks.

Due to the advanced stage, it is expected that the work will lead to high profile publications within less than a year.

Post-doctoral position on comparative transcriptomics in S. cerevisiae strains (posted 9th June 2022)

Mar Albà, ICREA Research Professor, Evolutionary Genomics Group, Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM) – Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB), Barcelona.

Description: Looking to recruit one highly motivated researcher at the postdoctoral level to perform research on comparative genomics, transcriptomics and translatomics with the goal to better understand the molecular basis of the evolution of new genes in yeast. The position is funded by an ERC Advanced Grant (NovoGenePop) and will have an initial duration of three years. The researcher will study transcriptome diversity in wild and domesticated populations of yeast. She/he will develop computational approaches to analyze a large amount of RNA-seq and Ribo-seq data from different S. cerevisiae strains and Saccharomyces species, characterize the transcriptomic diversity in different populations and develop methods to identify recently evolved genes. Mutations and selective signatures associated with de novo gene birth will be identified using genomics data from a large number of strains.

Requirements:

  • Research experience in comparative genomics and transcriptomics
  • Expertise in at least one programming language
  • Expertise in a programmatic statistics language (ideally R)
  • Sound knowledge of population genetics and molecular evolution
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English

Representative publications:

  • Blevins, W.R., Ruiz-Orera, J., Messeguer, X., Blasco-Moreno, B., Villanueva-Cañas, J.L., Espinar, L., Díez, J., Carey, L.B., Albà, M.M. (2021). Uncovering de novo gene birth in yeast using deep transcriptomics. Nature Communications, vol. 12: 604.
  • Blevins, W.R., Tavella, T., Moro, S.G., Blasco-Moreno, B., Closa-Mosquera, A., Diez, J., Carey, L.B., Albà, M.M. (2019) Extensive post-transcriptional buffering of gene expression in the response to severe oxidative stress in baker's yeast. Scientific Reports, vol. 9: 11005.

Location: We are located at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB), one of the most vibrant interdisciplinary research centers in Southern Europe with more than 1000 scientists in the building alone, including a large bioinformatics and evolutionary biology community. The researchers will have access to state-of-the-art resources and a wide range of in-house training opportunities.

Starting date and salary: Ideally between Oct 1st 2022 and February 1st 2023. Salary 34,636-40,531 Eur per year depending on experience.

Contact: Please send an email to Mar Albà (malba@imim.es) with subject “PostdocERC_yeast” including a CV and a motivation letter, together with the name of two contacts for references. The deadline for the first round of applications is the 15th of July 2022.

Post-doctoral position in S. cerevisiae research (posted 23 May 2022)

Truman lab, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA

Description: The Truman laboratory in the Department of Biological Sciences at UNC Charlotte employs a range of molecular technologies including mass spectrometry, CRISPR-genome engineering and high-throughput screening to study the role of post-translational modifications on Hsp70 (see: http://www.trumanlab.org). We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with experience working with budding yeast.

NIH Funding is available for several years, with the expectation that the candidate will work with Dr. Truman to apply for fellowships during this time. Ideal candidates will have graduated less than one year from their start date in the Truman lab. To apply please email Dr. Truman at atruman1@uncc.edu. Please include a cover letter, CV and any relevant publications.

About the Department of Biological Sciences: The Department of Biological Sciences (https://biology.charlotte.edu/) has set as its mission to advance the frontiers of knowledge through innovation and research in the biological sciences; to facilitate development of scientists in the guidance of our bachelors, masters and doctoral Biology students, and in the training of post-doctoral fellows; to contribute to local, national, and international scientific communities through collaborations and service activities that promote education and dissemination of information; to contribute to the community by collaborating with public, nonprofit, private, and industry partners in the Charlotte metropolitan area and the State of North Carolina.

The collaborative research environment at the UNC Charlotte offers an excellent opportunity for career development. The UNC Charlotte offers a complete benefits package and competitive salary. The Charlotte region provides wonderful environment to work and live.


Ideal Qualifications:

  • Ph. D in biochemistry, molecular biology, cancer biology or related field.
