土耳其伊斯坦布尔大学招聘分子生物学/细胞生物学/生物化学博士后

Sabanci University (SU), Molecular Biology, Genetics and Bioengineering Program invites applications for post-doctoral positions in molecular cell biology. SU is the only private Turkish university to be among the top 200 universities in the world (Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings). Turkey is a European Union (EU)-Associated Country with a stable economy. The university offers an outstanding research environment with excellent and internationally competitive facilities (see http://www.sabanciuniv.edu and http://sunum.sabanciuniv.edu/).

Successful candidates will work in Gozuacik Lab, in ambitious, internationally competitive and dynamic research projects. Gozuacik Lab is an active member of the International Autophagy Community, European Autophagy Community, International Cell Death Society (ICDS), EMBO and EU COST Networks. Moreover, we have active collaborations with labs in the US, Europe and South Korea. We have privileged access to a state-of-the-art animal facility and patient materials.

Research in our laboratory mainly focuses on mammalian stress and death responses, especially autophagy regulation and autophagy abnormalities in human diseases (especially cancer). See recent publications:

Successful candidates will apply state-of-the-art methods of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics and biochemistry to study autophagy regulating miRNA networks or novel autophagy proteins/signaling pathways that were discovered in our laboratory. Role of autophagy in cancer is another important research area that may be studied in our lab.

Ph.D degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or a related field is required. Previous hands on experience of cell culture techniques is a plus. Ability to work independently and strong interpersonal skills are expected.

A competitive salary with excellent benefits (including housing on campus, free lunch, private health insurance and meeting travel support) will be provided.

Please send a curriculum vitae, publication list, names and e-mail adresses of at least three referees and a motivation letter electronically to Professor Devrim Gozuacik, MD/PhD (dgozuacik@sabanciuniv.edu)….
