Postdoctoral fellowship at BRIC: Novel regulators of genomic integrity

Overview

A 3-year Postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly motivated candidate in Claus Storgaard Sørensen´s Group at BRIC, University of Copenhagen

The project
We investigate the mechanisms responsible for maintenance of genomic stability in mammalian cells. Projects in the lab are based on large-scale siRNA and proteomic screens to identify novel regulators that are subsequently characterized using a range of cell biological and biochemical approaches. The postdoc will identify and characterize novel regulators of the cellular responses to DNA replication stress. The RNAi screens will be an extension of a series of screens carried out in collaboration with lab members and BRIC´s experienced staff scientists using robot automated siRNA screening in human cell lines. The major aim of the project is the subsequent characterization to understand the novel biological functions of the identified genes.

Qualifications

We are seeking a person with a PhD degree in Life Sciences. The candidate must be highly motivated to pursue a career as an independent scientist. The person must be creative with original ideas and the ability to plan and work independently. Previous experience in biochemistry and cell biology is required.


Place of work

The employment is at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, located close to the heart of Copenhagen. We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a young, dynamic and international lab environment with approximately 10 researchers in the group. Our research facilities include modern laboratories, a number of core facilities shared between the 16 research groups and well-functioning administrative and technical support.
