One postdoctoral position is available in the group of Pura Muñoz-Cánoves at the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), Department of Experimental and Health Sciences (Cell Biology Unit), in the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, Barcelona, Spain. Research in the group is focused at identifying novel mechanisms involved in adult myogenesis and regeneration and in the development of inflammation-mediated fibrosis during muscular dystrophies. In the recent years, the group has made relevant contributions to these converging muscle research fields.
Qualifications
Highly motivated candidates with a Ph.D. in Life Sciences are encouraged to apply.
The most likely successful candidate will have excellent previous experience in cellular biology. Moreover, it will be an advantage if the candidate has worked with the generation and characterization of transgenic mice, and has a strong background in molecular biology. A background in inflammation will also be positively considered.
