| Job Description | We are seeking motivated and enthusiastic students for doctoral thesis research on the molecular mechanisms of G-protein and phosphoinositide phosphate regulation in both the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Projects are directed at understanding the role of a range of different G-proteins (monomeric and heterotrimeric) and phosphoinositidie phosphates in external-signal mediated polarized growth including during the mating process and the yeast to filamentous growth transition. This work will be carried out at the CNRS/INSERM Institute of Biology Valrose in Nice, France (http://ibv.unice.fr/EN/index.php). A range of cell biological, molecular, and biochemical techniques will be used, in addition to state of the art live-cell imaging methods (taking advantage of extensive on site communal microscopy facilities). |
| Qualification | Candidates should have a Master’s degree or equivalent in a relevant field, including cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, or molecular biology, genetics and have laboratory experience working with yeast. Motivation, enthusiasm and ability to communicate and interact with lab members are critical. |
| How to Apply | Candidates should send a letter of application and curriculum vitae with names and contact information for one or two referees to Rob Arkowitz (arkowitz@unice.fr) |
