Postdoctoral Researcher in Innate Immunity
1 month ago
In this project, we aim to identify microproteins in innate immune cells involved in immune processes. We will combine bioinformatic, ribosome profiling, and proteomic approaches to achieve this goal.
Responsibilities- Bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic datasets and protein sequences from publicly available datasets and own datasets.
- Generation of ribosome profiling datasets for resting and activated innate immune cells to identify open reading frames with coding potential.
- Identification of the newly identified open reading frames at the protein level using proteomic approaches.
To be eligible for this position, you should have a doctorate in natural sciences and experience in at least one of the following techniques:
- Sample preparation and/or bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomic data (preferably ribosome profiling)
- Preparation and analysis of mass spectrometry samples.
Experience working with primary immune cells and tissue culture is desirable.
Additional InformationThis is a full-time, fixed-term position for 2 years. The appointment is in accordance with the terms of contract for fixed-term employment as a postdoctoral researcher from 1 February 2022.
