Garcia-Marcos Laboratory

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION, CELL BIOLOGY/ SIGNALING

Our laboratory investigates signal transduction mechanisms with the ultimate goal of elucidating the molecular basis of human diseases and developing novel therapeutic approaches. Our main interest is in heterotrimeric G proteins, which are molecular switches primarily activated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) located at the plasma membrane. In the recent years, we have pioneered the characterization of novel mechanisms of G protein regulation that deviate from the canon and that have important implications in cancer, embryonic development, and neurotransmission. Our multidisciplinary approach includes   in vitro   biochemistry to characterize protein complexes, culture cells and model organisms (yeast, frog embryos) for functional studies and synthetic biology tools to manipulate and monitor signaling with exquisite spatiotemporal resolution and fidelity.

There are several open projects in the laboratory that could accommodate new postdoctoral fellows. These involve the study of spatiotemporal control of   GPCR / G protein signaling with live-cell biosensors and other synthetic biology tools, and investigating the role of   GPCR -independent G protein signaling in epithelial tissues   in vitro   and vertebrate embryos (zebrafish,   Xenopus )   in vivo . It is also expected that the applicant will be engaged in related secondary projects and collaborative efforts within and/or outside our laboratory.

QUALIFICATIONS   REQUIRED -   We are looking for candidates with a recent Ph.D. and experience in   Cell Biology and Biochemistry , as demonstrated by a strong publication record. Prior knowledge of   GPCR /G protein signal transduction is preferred but not essential. We are looking for   motivated   and   creative   individuals with a commitment to academic research who can work   independently   as well as in   team-based   projects. Good oral and written communication skill are a must.

The atmosphere in the laboratory is   collaborative   and   multidisciplinary . The successful candidate will interact on a daily basis with colleagues carrying out studies on different areas of research (cancer, development, neurobiology) and approaches (purified proteins, structural biology, primary and cell line cultures,   BRET , mice, frogs, etc). Our laboratory is highly committed to the career development of trainees.

The Department of Biochemistry at Boston University offers a highly collegial atmosphere and a first rate research environment.

Skills:   Experience with several of the techniques listed below is required:

  • Cellular and Molecular Biology: Cell culture, confocal and live cell fluorescence microscopy, molecular cloning, genetic manipulation of cell lines by   CRISPR   and RNAi, lentivirus production, etc
  • Biochemistry: Protein purification, protein-protein interaction assays such as pulldowns and immunoprecipitations, immunoblotting, enzymatic assays, etc.
  • Animal Models: zebrafish and/or   Xenopus

Interested candidates should send a CV, cover letter and contact information for 3 references.

Cifuentes Laboratory

Postdoctoral positions are available for highly talented and motivated candidates willing to address fundamental questions of RNA regulation in viruses and vertebrate systems .

The available projects focus on the study of post-transcriptional RNA regulators such as microRNA and other small non-coding regulatory RNAs, RNA-binding proteins and epitranscriptomic modifications with the goal to integrate these mechanisms into a single post-transcriptional regulatory framework. To address this goal, the lab combines high-throughput genetic, genomic, and proteomic approaches applied to two independent but technically interconnected areas: vertebrate development and viral replication, using zebrafish and filoviruses as primary model systems. Additional information can be found at www.bumc.bu.edu/biochemcellbio/people/faculty/daniel-cifuentes/

Candidates should have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and at least a first author publication. Strong experience in molecular biology is required and knowledge of computational biology will be a plus, but even more important is their motivation to learn and problem-solving skills to adapt to the scientific challenges and become positive members of the lab. The position is funded for at least two years, contingent on performance.

The University of Kansas

2024-25 Academic Catalog

Department of cell biology and physiology.

The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology was formed on July 1, 2022 as a merger of the former Departments of Anatomy & Cell Biology and Molecular & Integrative Physiology. Bringing together the complementary expertise and graduate programs of the two respective departments has greatly enhanced student opportunities for research and areas of focus. Strengths within the department include:

  • Cell Biology
  • Cellular and Integrative Physiology
  • Developmental and Reproductive Biology
  • Exercise and Metabolism
  • Neuroscience
  • Renal Biology

The common thread within the department is that all research is designed to understand biological function in health and disease. Faculty within the department generated over $4M in research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2023. Nearly all faculty members have served on national advisory committees to major funding agencies such as the NIH and Department of Defense and as reviewers and editors to major scientific publications. 

The department administers three separate graduate programs that include tailored didactic instruction and laboratory experiences to enable students to become effective independent researchers and instructors. Graduates of these programs have obtained positions in industry, government, and consulting, as well as faculty positions at the college, university, and medical/graduate school level. The department offers the Ph.D. degree, and the combined M.D./Ph.D. degrees in conjunction with the School of Medicine. An M.S. degree may be granted in appropriate circumstances.

PhD position in cell biology

cell biology phd positions

A 3-year PhD position is now available in the Trypanosome Cell Biology unit at the Institut Pasteur (INSERM U1201) in Paris, funded by an “Équipe FRM” grant (starting date 1 st October 2022)

Context. Microtubules are cytoskeletal elements that are central to cell life. Their primary components are tubulins that undergo various post-translational modifications acting as a tubulin code. We wish to investigate a main modification called glutamylation that is over-represented in cilia and flagella. These organelles are composed of 9 doublet microtubules, whose construction takes place at the distal end. New tubulin subunits are delivered to the tip by intraflagellar transport, the movement of protein complexes driven by kinesin and dynein motors 1,2 . This project aims to investigate the significance of tubulin poly-glutamylation in cilia in relationship with kinesin motors. The work will be performed in Trypanosoma brucei, a model organism perfectly suited for the project.

Project . The successful candidate will determine how the code is written by exploiting existing mutant cell lines and developing novel ones. The project relies on our recent breakthrough that allows us to visualise tubulin incorporation in microtubules and to monitor how, where and when tubulin is glutamylated, opening the door to both dynamic and functional studies. The contribution of glutamylation to the control of flagellum assembly and function 3,4 will be scrutinised. The project relies on a combination of imaging (light & electron microscopy, super-resolution, expansion microscopy), reverse genetics (gene replacement/tagging, RNAi), in addition to classic molecular and cellular biology. It will benefit from access to state-of-the-art imaging facilities at the Institut Pasteur, including cryo-electron microscopy.

Host laboratory. The Trypanosome Cell Biology-INSERM U1201 is located at the Institut Pasteur in Paris town centre and is affiliated to the doctoral school “Complexité du Vivant” (CDV, ED515) at Sorbonne Université. The lab investigates trypanosomes both as parasites and as models. More information and a list of recent publications can be found on the lab website and on Twitter .

Candidate profile . The candidates need to have Master degree with some expertise in cell biology. Having worked with trypanosomes and/or cilia is not necessary but will be a bonus.

To apply : Applicants should send their CV, a motivation letter and 3 references in a single pdf file to Philippe Bastin ( [email protected] ) Trypanosome Cell Biology Unit, Institut Pasteur, 25 rue du Dr Roux, 75015 Paris. The application deadline is 30 th June 2022.
