募集の背景、プロジェクトの説明
We are looking for highly motivated scientists with a background in Cellular Biology, Neuronal Biology and/or animal behavior to join the Molecular Neuroscience Unit at the OIST. The ideal candidate should be familiar with cell and molecular biology techniques and mouse handling. Familiarity with statistical software (prism or R) is required, knowledge of image analysis and programming (Matlab or Python) is not necessary, but preferable.
The successful applicant is expected to lead a collaborative, generously funded project on the biology of axonal RNA granules in aging neurons and in neurons differentiated from human IPSCs derived from patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases. The candidate will explore the mechanisms underlying local translation in axons and the formation and unpacking of stress granules and protein aggregates with a focus on ATP dependence.
We seek dynamic and motivated people with the ability to integrate in a small, young team. To this extent, shortlisted applicants may be invited to visit the OIST for an interview meeting before any decisions are made. -
仕事内容・職務内容
1. Developing new models to study axonal translation and mRNA granules in axons.
2. Planning and executing experimental research independently and in collaboration with the team.
3. Image and data analysis -
