  Overview Two postdoc positions are available at the Laboratory of Computational Protein Design in Brussels ( https://vorobievalab.sites.vib.be/en ) and are funded by an ERC grant. The focus of the group is the  de novo  design of membrane proteins and nanopores for applications such as single-molecule sensing. In that context, this ERC project aims to (i) develop a new experimental platform for high-throughput characterization of the biophysical properties of natural and synthetic protein nanopores and (ii) leverage the generated data for the development of better computational design methods based on the Rosetta software and the latest generative deep learning software for protein design. We are therefore looking for two profiles with interest in the design of membrane proteins: Profile 1 Recent Ph.D. in experimental protein engineering/directed evolution. Demonstrated experience in: Developing and using high-throughput assays. Library construction (mutagenesis, oligo ...

  Job description An ERC Starting grant-funded postdoc position is available in the group of Prof. Inge De Clercq at the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology (PSB) and Ghent University, Belgium. You will study inter-organelle (between mitochondria, chloroplasts, and the ER) communication during the plant’s interaction with pathogens. Your project is embedded within the ERC-STG grant, entitled “COSI: Understanding organelle communication through COntact SItes in plant stress responses”, which studies the direct association between organelles through stress-induced contact sites by implementing state-of-the-art cell biology and proteomics approaches. With this exciting project, we seek to provide new mechanistic and functional insight into how stress signals are perceived and transduced between intracellular organelles and how they are translated into appropriate defence responses. You will design and implement tools to detect the dynamic (or reversible) association between org...

  Job Summary The Research Center on Algal Biotechnology (RCAB)  at University Mohammed VY Polytechnic (UM6P),  Laayoune City, is seeking  a motivated faculty member (Assistant professor) in marine biology with a focus on Seaweed biology (biodiversity, systematics, molecular phylogeny), biogeography, ecology, and mariculture to join our institution's academic faculty. The selected candidate is anticipated to establish a research program focusing on seaweeds biology, ecology and cultivation. The candidate is expected to actively pursue external research funding, foster collaborative projects, and effectively manage a comprehensive research program. Responsibilities include teaching, proposal writing, project management, and mentorship aligned with the vision of the research center.   Job Responsibilities Train and teach undergraduate and/or graduate students on marine biology, seaweeds cultivation, and aquaculture, as well as special courses related to the candid...
