About the position
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate how a tRNA synthetase links nutrient sensing to translational control. The project aims to define the mechanisms of translational control that enable cells to adapt to metabolic stress, with a focus on pancreatic β-cells and insulin-responsive tissues. By integrating mouse models, primary cells and tissues, and multi-omics approaches, the research seeks to uncover fundamental mechanisms underlying metabolic regulation and diabetes.
REQUIREMENTS:
- PhD in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, physiology, or a related field
- Strong experimental background in molecular and cellular biology, with experience in relevant biochemical or cellular assays.
- Demonstrated research productivity, preferably with first-author publication(s) or a submitted manuscript.
- Scientific curiosity, independence, and strong communication and collaborative skills.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with mouse models, primary tissues, or metabolic phenotyping
- Experience with islet biology, diabetes, or metabolism research
- Experience with tRNA synthetases, RNA biology, or translational control
- Experience with translation assays, including polysome or ribosome profiling
- Experience with or interest in transcriptomic and proteomic data analysis.
