Postdoctoral Researcher
Morphogenesis during animal development
The Sars International Centre for Marine Molecular Biology is now offering a two-year postdoc position in a research group working on morphogenesis using the notochord development in Ciona intestinalis as the model. The announced position focuses on the construction and regulation of the actomyosin network that is involved in cell elongation during the early phase of notochord tubulogenesis. Interested individuals can read two publications, Dong et al., 2011, and Denker and Jiang, 2012, for detailed description of experimental model and the biological questions.
Extensive resources are established for Ciona intestinalis (gene knock down, transgenesis, advanced imaging tools, quantitative analysis of morphogenesis, and published genome).
The position will utilize a broad spectrum of cell biology methods. Applicants with special interests in cytokinesis, actomyosin, advance quantitative imaging are welcome to apply. Prior experience in microinjection and/or dynamic live imaging of embryos are preferred. We seek creative scientist who wishes to explore new experimental system and discover novel mechanism.
The position is available immediately; the start date is negotiable. The salary for Postdoctoral Researcher (code 8151) starts at NOK 480 000.
