Postdoctoral position at the University of Gothenburg in the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology to study lipid metabolism and membrane homeostasis in C. elegans.
The project is led by Professor Marc Pilon and focuses on basic research on molecular pathways regulating lipid/membrane homeostasis using the nematode C. elegans as a model organism. The successful candidate will carry out independent or semi-independent research and may work with C. elegans mutant alleles, forward genetics screens, genetic interaction studies, microscopy, and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.
This is a 2-year full-time postdoctoral appointment with a possible 1-year extension. The position is based in Gothenburg, Sweden, at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Salary is set individually by the university.
