Scholarship Description:A European Union funded postdoctoral position is available in the group of Associate Professor Roger Pocock at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. Research in the group is focused neuronal development and microRNA-mediated stress responses.
We are interested in understanding how animals control stress responses. To this end, we have identified specific microRNAs in C. elegans that are required under stress. The postdoctoral position will involve characterization of the stress-responsive roles of these microRNAs at the molecular and cellular level.
The position is for 3 years and is scheduled to start in 2011. Salary, pension and terms of employment follow the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central Organization.
Scholarship Application Deadline: March 14, 2011.
