Desired start date: 1st February 2014
Form of employment: Full-time job, fixed-term contract for 30 months- temporary
Job description: We seek a highly motivated individual to join an EU-funded research project within Cellular Signalling Laboratory that involves: study of pathological plasticity of epithelial cells, cancer stem cell biology and study of control and regulation of signalling in cancer with an initial focus on role of autocrine/paracrine produced growth factors in invasion and metastasis.
Cellular Signalling Laboratory, headed by Dr. Karel Souček, is located at Department of Cytokinetics, Institute of Biophysics AS CR and provides a dynamic research environment with state-of-the-art facilities. Cellular Signalling Laboratory is a part of a unique interdisciplinary research platform - Center of Biomolecular and Cellular Engineering (CBCE), which represents one of the research platforms of International Clinical Research Centre (ICRC). ICRC is a joint research centre of St. Anne´s University Hospital in Brno and Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota (USA) and links together pre-clinical basic research (e.g. in stem cell biology, cancer biology etc.) with clinical research (for more info see http://www.fnusa-icrc.org/en/). The CBCE platform focuses on research of biologically active small molecules and engineered proteins, which currently represent the most promising tools for influencing biological processes such as genomic cell stability, cell growth, cell differentiation, cell reprogramming to pluripotency, cell death, and cell survival.
Prerequisites for successful role performance:
Professional requirements:
The applicant should have a solid knowledge of cell biology and cancer diseases with special focus on solid tumours. An insight into in vivo models is necessary. The experience of the applicant with basic methods of cell biology and other advanced techniques should cover the following:
Personal characteristics:
Successful candidates should be highly motivated and have independent thinking, strong organizational and communication skills.
Please email your application in electronic form, as a cover letter accompanied by a resume indicating details of your existing professional experience, to: karel.soucek@fnusa.cz by 15th December 2013 at the latest.
