Job description

We are currently recruiting two postdoctoral researchers for a project funded by the National Science Center (NCN) grant 2022/45/B/NZ3/03688. In this project, we will study the molecular mechanisms that regulate brain organization, synaptogenesis, and mouse behavior. The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, and we still have a limited understanding of its organization and function. Its malfunction leads to severe neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Our laboratory uses a wide range of techniques, including protein complex purification, mass spectrometry analysis, histology, cell culture, genetic manipulations, viral gene delivery, and behavioral testing on conditional knockout mice. By joining the project, you will learn a lot of techniques from various fields of biology, and the results obtained will likely be published in good international journals.

Daily tasks

Major responsibilities:

  • Planning, designing, and conducting scientific experiments
  • Writing manuscripts, presenting results at international scientific meetings
  • Active participation in the laboratory operations
  • Supervising Ph.D. students and technicians
Benefits
  • Full-time employment on the position of Senior Specialist
  • Work in a scientific research organization focused on the implementation of innovative R&D projects
  • Training in the use of modern techniques, including work with conditional knockout mice for tissue-specific deletion, complex biochemistry, protein complex purification, and in vivo confocal imaging
  • Co-financing for private medical care
  • Co-financing for a sports card
  • Possibility to join group life insurance
  • Co-financing under the Social Benefits Fund (for holidays and Christmas)
  • Work on the territory of a green science campus
  • Free parking space
  • Additional 10 days of paid leave for employees of the research division holding the title PhD
