Post doc at Uppsala University : Uppsala, Sweden

Postdoctoral Position in Bacterial RNA Biology at Uppsala University

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Erik Holmqvist at Uppsala University in Sweden to study post-transcriptional gene regulation by bacterial RNA binding proteins and small RNAs in the context of pathogenicity and host cell infection. We combine molecular biology, biochemistry, and genome-wide analyses such as CLIP-seq and RNA-seq to investigate molecular mechanisms and their consequences for bacterial physiology and virulence.

We are looking for a highly motivated, bright and enthusiastic candidate with a background in RNA biology, infection biology and/or molecular microbiology. The candidate should be able to work as a team member, learn new skills rapidly, and have excellent communication skills. The applicant must have received his/her PhD degree from a non-Swedish institution within the last 5 years.

The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Uppsala University, Sweden, consists of seven different research programs. Research focuses on the chemical, molecular and structural backgrounds of cellular processes. Several laboratories at the department are also centres of excellence: Structural Biology, Molecular Biophysics, Protein Synthesis, and Uppsala RNA Research Centre.
