Job description

Offer DescriptionResearch position of Post-doc located at the Center for Advanced Technologies in the OPUS 23 project No. UMO-2022/45/B/NZ2/02183 ” Mechanistic Understanding of picd-1 in Transposon Silencing and Genome Maintenance”The aim of the project is to deeply understand the role of picd-1 in silencing of the repeat elements such transposons. Our preliminary results suggest that the loss of picd-1 leads to the depletion of specific siRNAs with the concomitant increase in various classes of DNA and RNA transposons, massive DNA damage and cell death resulting in fully penetrant sterility when the worms are grown at semi-permissive temperature. We aim to characterize picd-1 and decipher its mechanism of action. Translational research project regarding the role of DPF-3, a protease on repeat expansion diseases will additionally be pursued.Research discipline (research field): Biological sciencesNumber of work hours per week including a task-based work schedule (if applicable):Full-time/ 40 hours per week in a task -based work time systemType of an employment contract and expected duration of employment, i.e.:contract for one year with possibility of extensionAnticipated job starting date: April 2025Monthly salary: : around 8 900 PLN grossApplication deadline and process:Documents should be sent electronically to the address of the group leader/ Principal Investigator:Deadline for submission of documents: March 3, 2025Interviews: For selected Candidates’ interviews will be carried out online using the TEAMS application.Results: Results will be announced on the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan website.The successful candidate will be selected by a committee chaired by the project leader according to the rules established by the National Science Center.Contact:Rajani Kanth GudipattiAssistant ProfessorCenter for Advanced TechnologiesAdam Mickiewicz University Poznań,Uniwersytetu Poznańskiego 10,61-614 Poznan, Poland.Mobile: +48 729 407 620Office: +48 618 291 868All questions should be addressed to the principal investigator using the above emailRequired documentsThe application should be sent by e-mail with the subject “POST-DOC in OPUS project – Applicant name”– Motivation letter with a description of the candidate’s research interests,– Scientific CV including a list of achievements, awards, papers, conference presentations, trainings,– Measurable effects and efficiency of the scientific work– Complete list of publications with the information about actual IF of the papers, patents, patent applications, projects, conferences,– Information about previous post-doc and internships,– Diplomas or certificates issued by colleges and universities attesting to education and degrees or titles held (in case of academic degrees obtained abroad – the documents must meet the equivalence criteria set out in Article 328 of the Act of 20 July 2018 Law on Higher Education and Science (Journal of Laws of 2024, item 1571, Article 113 as amended);Consent to the processing of personal data as follows: In accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation of 27 April 2016.
