05 Postdoctoral Fellowship at Masaryk University, Czech Republic

A postdoctoral opportunity is available within the Gabriel Demo Research Group, specializing in the exploration of translation regulation mechanisms. The group’s research is centred on diverse translation regulation pathways in both bacterial and mammalian cells. This project will focus on the structural intricacies of frameshifting and translocation events in bacterial ribosomes, particularly focusing on tRNAs with additional stem-loops. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments such as Titan Krios and Talos Arctica for cryo-electron microscopy data collection, available either in-house or through local core facilities, with regular accessibility.

We are seeking a creative, independent and driven individual with documented research experience related to this position. Candidates with solid research experience in structural biology and translation are encouraged to apply.

Position of lab manager/research laboratory technician is open for the group „Regulation of gene expression and molecular carcinogenesis“ that is part of Molecular Medicine program at CEITEC-Masaryk university (MU).

The research group studies regulation of gene expression by cyclin-dependent kinases CDK11 and CDK12 and their roles in onset of cancer. We use advanced techniques of molecular biology and biochemistry. For more detail information about the research group please see our web pages: http://www2.ceitec.muni.cz/blazek-lab/

We are looking for a postdoc in the field of psychology / communication studies / media studies to join the IRTIS research team at the Faculty of Social Studies of Masaryk University in Brno. 

IRTIS (Interdisciplinary Research Team on internet and Society) is a research team that examines the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and their impact on individuals and groups. We are a well-established team based at Masaryk University with a strong emphasis on international and interdisciplinary collaboration (https://irtis.muni.cz).

We are currently looking for a new colleague for the “DigiWELL – Excellence in Research on Digital Technologies and Wellbeing” project (project duration: 2024–2028). Within the project, we are responsible for the work package focused on short – and long-term impacts of the use of digital technologies on the wellbeing (social, psychological and physical) of the general population. Our primary target populations are adolescents (12-17 years) and adults (18-59 years). We will also analyse existing data (mainly from the project FUTURE – https://irtis.muni.cz/research/projects/future) as well as prepare and implement new studies (longitudinal design, ecological momentary assessment studies, experimental studies).

The post-doc position concerns the synthesis of new bambusuril macrocycles. The project is well-suited for individuals with strong skills in organic synthesis. Expertise in the synthesis of macrocyclic compounds and the characterization of supramolecular host-guest systems in the solution will be advantageous.

The rapid development of digital pathology and AI-based modelling approaches offers a perfect opportunity for discovering novel biomarkers for precision oncology. Over the last decade, and benefitting from several national and international projects, our group acquired a large corpus of multimodal data related to colorectal cancer. In this context, the Postdoctoral Fellow will develop new machine learning/AI methods for finding predictive biomarkers from pathology images and combining them with other modalities, such as transcriptomics and metagenomics.
