Results of the competition:
As part of the conducted procedure, the Competition Committee recommended the candidacy of Tomasz Uśpieński, MSc for the post of PhD student.
Description:
PhD student
(Research area: cell signaling, tumor biology)
Background:
Cancer is a disease of transcription factors – they drive tumor growth, metastasis, and prevent cell death in cancerous tissue. Gli proteins are transcription factors involved in many tumors and developmental defects. The transition of Gli proteins into active drivers of transcription is poorly understood. To discover the molecular foundations of the regulation of Gli proteins in development and disease, you will use state-of-the-art techniques ranging from genetic manipulations of cells and tissues, through in vivo work, to quantitative proteomics and confocal microscopy.

- A competitive stipend (4500 PLN/month)
You need to be:
- Willing to take initiative in technical troubleshooting and experimental design
- Passionate about hard work in a high-pressure environment
Other requirements:
- Ability to communicate fluently in English and Polish
- Master’s degree or equivalent in biology, biotechnology, pharmacy or related fields
- Experience in molecular cloning, cell culture, flow cytometry, and loss-of-function methods in mammalian cells (shRNA, shRNA-miR, CRISPR-Cas9)
Please send the following information to lmcs.recruitment@gmail.com (put “PhD student” in the subject line).
