CEITEC is a scientific centre in the fields of life sciences, advanced materials and technologies whose aim is to establish itself as a recognized centre for basic as well as applied research. CEITEC offers a state-of-the-art infrastructure and great conditions to employ excellent researchers. CEITEC was approved by the European Commission on 6th June 2011. It is a consortium whose partners include the most prominent universities and research institutes in Brno, and it benefits from the support of the Region of South-Moravia and the City of Brno.
A post-doctoral position is available at the Central-European Institute of Technology (CEITEC), Brno, Czech Republic, in the group of Mary O‘Connell. This work is funded by the ERA Chair grant. The project focuses on how modification in RNA is used by the innate immune system to discriminate ‘self‘ from ‘non-self‘
The successful candidate will join a team of motivated researchers who are investigating the proteins and RNA involved in this novel innate immune pathway. We also want to elucidate and identify mutations in this pathway that result in autoimmune disorders. We use a variety of different models in our investigations; Drosophila, mice and stem cell culture.
