Biomedical Research Opportunity

The University of Gothenburg invites highly motivated applicants to join our team as a PhD researcher in molecular biology. The successful candidate will investigate the role of MSEP, a novel protein encoded by long noncoding RNAs, in cell cycle regulation.

We aim to elucidate how MSEP interacts with key proteins critical for cell cycle progression and its potential impact on cancer development.

This project has far-reaching implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against cancer.

About the Project

Recent studies have highlighted the significance of long noncoding RNAs in regulating gene expression. Our research focuses on understanding the mechanisms by which these molecules control cell cycle processes.

MSEP, a 54 kDa protein, is one such molecule that has been identified as a key player in cell cycle regulation. We will investigate its interactions with proteins critical for cell cycle progression using advanced biochemical and biophysical techniques.

Requirements

To be eligible, applicants must have completed a degree at second-cycle level or fulfilled course requirements totalling at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits must be at second-cycle level.

Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are essential. A background in cell biology, biotechnology, or biochemistry is required. Knowledge in cell and molecular biology techniques and good knowledge of bioinformatics are assets.

Employment Conditions

The employment as a PhD researcher is limited to four years, and you may have departmental duties corresponding to up to 20% of full-time employment. You will be employed at Sahlgrenska Academy, Institute of Biomedicine, Department of Medical Biochemistry and Cell Biology.
