Postdoc and PhD student

Type of job: full-time

We are looking for motivated persons to investigate regulation of the meiotic cell cycle. In our laboratory we aim to elucidate the molecular causes of the increased chromosomal aneuploidy rates in oocytes from women in the age over 35. The research is focused to

1. RNA metabolism related to the control of gene expression in the oocyte and embryo.
2. Enzymatic activities involved in the regulation of meiotic maturation of mammalian oocytes and of 1^st mitotic cycle in early embryos.

The Institute is well established in the study of physiology of the germ cells and PhD program will be conducted at Charles University in Prague or at University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague.

The candidates are with interest in the cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry or related field. The successful candidates should be highly motivated; display initiative and independence.

In our research, we are using advanced techniques of cell and molecular biology, such as: microinjection of oocytes, confocal microscopy, protein kinase activities assays, live cell imaging, immunofluorescence, proteomics, molecular biology, etc.

The positions are open until filled.

Interested candidates should send a CV to:

• Dr. Michal Kubelka or
• Dr. Andrej Susor
