Research Assistant / Master student

Iron Homeostasis Laboratory at the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (www.iimcb.gov.pl) is seeking for a motivated and talented individual to be recruited for a position of a research assistant or Master student. A successful candidate will be employed to support the NCN-funded Polonez project entitled: “Deciphering BMP6 regulatory mechanisms using CRISPR/Cas9-based screening approach”.

The project is aimed to better understand the regulatory networks of BMP6, one of the major cytokines involved in systemic iron sensing. The research work will employ cell-based assays using CRISPR-Cas9 editing, gene expression analysis, biochemical work and flow cytometric methods. We are interested in candidates experienced in basic molecular biology methods, cell culture work and flow cytometry, with a very good coming of English. We offer the opportunity to work in international vibrant environment of the IIMCB created by young and open-minded scientists. The position is offered for approximately 10-12 months (with a probation period), with remuneration of 1000-2000 PLN netto depending on commitment and experience of the candidate.
