Job Company: MDC

The position will be a part of the project "mRNA localization and local translation in neuronal cells". In highly polarized cells, many mRNAs have specific subcellular localization patterns and their translation is often regulated in a localization-dependent manner. We have conducted a screen to identify neuronal RNAs that change their localization and translation patterns upon abrogation of the miRNA function. The selected candidate will work a close tandem with experimentalists, analyzing RNA-seq, ribosome profiling, CLIP and mass-spectrometry data.The successful candidate will benefit from the international research environment and excellent learning opportunities. There will also be a chance to develop one’s own line of research for the future independent career. [More]
