Postdoctoral Position in mitochondrial genetics
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr Aleksandra
Trifunovic at Karolinska Institute, to investigate molecular mechanism of
aging driven by increased amount of mtDNA mutations. Research will relate
to
our ongoing efforts to understand the mechanisms of cellular and
organismal
aging induced by increased amounts of somatic mtDNA mutations and will be a
follow up study on mtDNA mutator mice, a model for premature ageing. Part of
this project will include work on recently developed C. elegans model. The
successful applicant will be working in a newly assembled Center for
Mitochondrial Medicine at Karolinska Institute.
We welcome enquiries from prospective applicants with a good background in
mitochondrial research.
Application should contain CV together with the names and addresses of two
referees and should be sent by e-mail to:
Aleksandra.Trifunovic@ki.se
Ideal candidate will have PhD in Biological Sciences and an interest in
ageing research. Experience in work with mice and/or C. elegans would be a
distinct advantage.
Closing Date: May 31. 2007.
