Postdoctoral Researcher in molecular mechanisms of viral oncogenesis - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Division
Maria G. Masucci research group
Our research aims to elucidate how viral products mimic or hijack key cellular functions in order to promote virus persistence and spread, and to understand how these viral strategies may lead to malignant transformation. We particularly focus on signaling pathways that are regulated by post-translational modification by ubiquitin, SUMO and NEDD8. The ultimate goal of our research is to identify new regulatory interactions that may be targeted to control virus infection and its potentially life-threatening consequences.

The project will investigate the molecular events that underlie the association between latent and productive viral infection and the regulation of autophagy.

 Duties

• To be responsible for the development of the research project together with the PI and other team members
• To work independently
• To generate and keep an updated record of all the experimental results
• To be accountable for personal professional conduct within the project
• To prepare a draft of scientific publications
• To ensure that work in the reserach group is conducted safely, legally and in accord with the highest standards of data protection
• To give due regard to the University Equal Opportunities, Data Protection and other relevant policies.

Entry requirements
Candidates eligible for a Postdoctoral Researcher position will have obtained a PhD in virology, cell biology, tumor biology or related subjects. The term can be extended under special circumstances.

Candidates with documented previous experience of work within the field of viral microRNAs and proficiency in molecular virology techniques will be given priority
