Position
Post-Doctoral Fellow Positions in Integrative Cell Biology
Location

Description
Our research focuses on the regulation of cell cycle progression innormal development and cancer (http://sites.igc.gulbenkian.pt/ccr/). Weare particularly interested in the role played by the centrosome, theprimary microtubule organizing centre in animal cells. Abnormalities inthe number and structure of centrosomes have been observed in manycancers. Together with the Computational Biology Lab(http://www.evocell.org) we are offering a two year funded Post-DoctoralFellow Position to use an interdisciplinary approach to study CentrosomeBiogenesis, in particular the evolution of centrioles and theirregulatory pathways.
This involves a mixture of small-scale sequence and structural analysesas well as global genomic analyses, combined with the design andimplementation of databases, visualization and querying systems.
We are looking for highly skilled and motivated Postdocs. We welcomebackgrounds in the life sciences such as biology, biologicalengineering, pharmacy, etc. as well in physics, computer science(“informatics”), mathematics and other numerate fields. This post wouldsuit someone with prior experience in Bioinformatics and/or computerscience, with an interest in evolution, genomics and cell biology. Wefavour experience with scripting (Perl and/or Python), databases (SQL),familiarity with molecular evolution and protein structure. Extremelymotivated applicants with any combination of the above skills will be considered.

The Institute “Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia” (www.igc.gulbenkian.pt)hosts roughly 30 groups, providing an exciting, challenging andinterdisciplinary scientific environment in Biomedical Research. It islocated in a campus with other Biological, Chemical andEngineering-oriented Institutes, in a sea-side town close to Lisbon,Portugal. State-of-the-art research centers and facilities provide theinfrastructure for an internationally recognized excellent research andtraining environment. The institute promotes the organization ofworkshops, courses and various types of international meetings orvisitors programs (http://www.igc.gulbenkian.pt/node/view/20). Allcommunications are done in English. The quality of life is great inPortugal and the cost of living is lower than in most other places inthe European Union (http://www.visitportugal.com). PhD students andPost-Doctoral researcher salaries are TAX EXEMPT. Salaries forPost-doctoral researchers start at 17880 euros/yr. Portuguese StatePension and Health Care System is available at no cost. The successfulcandidate would be encouraged to apply for independent funding fromnational & international funding bodies.
