Applications from potential PhD candidates or post-docs are welcome.
Please send a motivation letter, your CV, and the contact details of three references to Javier Santos Moreno.
You will work on designing and building synthetic gene circuits to program time in E. coli cells, using CRISPRi, transcription factors, and other molecular tools. Following the in silico design, you will construct the circuits using advanced cloning techniques and you will evaluate their performance using microplate reader measurements, flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy, among other techniques. After building and characterizing prototype circuits, you will fine-tune them and connect them to other circuits / actuator modules.
You are also expected to write articles, present results at seminars / conferences, contribute to the training of PhD candidates and undergraduate students, collaborate with other group members and labs, and apply for postdoc fellowships. If interested, you can also participate in teaching and outreach activities.
Apply before November 15th, 2024 (find details here)
