 In particular, we are interested in the elucidation of

     molecular mechanisms of cytokine signal transduction mediated by

 Janus kinases and STAT transcription factors; (patho)physiologic

 consequences of Jak/STAT signaling and cross-talk with other

 signalling pathways (e. g. hypoxia),

    the role of microRNAs in cancer development and growth regulation;

 microRNAs as biomarkers.

Tasks/Mission :

    The successful candidate will perform research related to the

 topics of the Signal Transduction Laboratory; possible collaborations

 e. g. with the Luxembourg Centre of Systems Biomedicine and clinical

 partners.

    Participation in teaching activities: Bachelor in Life Sciences /

 Master in Integrated Systems Biology / Doctoral School of Molecular

 and Systems Biomedicine.

    Submission of grant proposals and (co-)supervision of Master and

 PhD students will be encouraged.

Your Profile

     A PhD in Biology or Biochemistry (or equivalent)

    Solid background in Biochemistry and Molecular/Cell Biology

 documented by peer-reviewed publications. Advanced skills and

 experiences in Bioinformatics/ Computational Biology would be

 an asset.

    Proficient knowledge in English is mandatory. Knowledge of
