Description:
The „Regenerative Mechanisms for Health” International Research Agenda Unit (“ReMedy”),
Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw, Poland,
calls for applications for
RESEARCH GROUP LEADER (3 positions)

We are looking for dynamic group leaders to establish three independent research groups and to develop ambitious and innovative research programmes on stress-evoked adaptability of cells at the molecular and biochemical level. We encourage outstanding researchers, both young and already established, to apply for the post.
The ReMedy Unit intends to make breakthrough discoveries that will open new lines of research and new strategies to maintain and restore health. The goal of ReMedy is to understand and to harness stress-evoked adaptability of cells at the molecular and biochemical level, in order to combat human diseases and pathologies. ReMedy aims to i) understand molecular mechanisms of stress response, ii) discover short- and long-term consequences of responses and their crosstalk in physiology and iii) apply the gained knowledge about stress responses for the development of new medical treatments. In the end we plan to have five new groups.
Key responsibilities include:
– Establish independent research group;
– Develop ambitious and innovative research programme on stress-evoked adaptability of cells at the molecular and biochemical level;
– Ensure scientific excellence, quality and completeness of developed programme,
– Engage in commercialization activities.
Profile of candidates/requirements:
• PhD degree in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, biomedicine, bioinformatics, biophysics, chemistry or similar and adequate post-doctoral experience,
• Outstanding record of scientific achievements reflected by publication record,
• Original and independent research programme,
• Strong leadership complemented by ability to collaborate,
• Research focus matching ReMedy goals (commercialization potential will be an additional asset).
We offer:
