Dear colleagues,

Our Host-Microorganisms interactions lab (Luis Teixeira @lmvteixeira<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Flmvteixeira&data=01%7C01%7Crita.sousa-nunes%40kcl.ac.uk%7Ceb2538a0e20841e68d7508d837d9dac6%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=pw1ihi7SK6qVfKmjYKSMucHPY9tolaf6%2B1xzyozhP8k%3D&reserved=0>) is recruiting two postdocs to study Wolbachia titres regulation and antiviral protection (wet lab and bioinformatics).

Position: The Host-Microorganism Interactions laboratory, led by Luis Teixeira, has two open postdoctoral positions, available from January 2020. The postdoctoral fellowships will have an annual duration renewable up to 30/6/2023, in agreement with the project-allocated budget for human resources.

Research interests: The ERC project Wolbakian focuses on understanding regulation of Wolbachia proliferation and protection to viruses. Wolbachia is a widespread intracellular bacterial symbiont of insects and other animals. This bacterium protects Drosophila melanogaster, and other insects, including mosquito vectors of arboviruses, against viral infection. We are interested in understanding this mechanism of protection. Moreover, we want to know how Wolbachia titres in the host are regulated since they impact anti-viral protection and many other aspects of Wolbachia biology. Our group approaches these problems using Drosophila genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, and genomics. One position will focus on Wolbachia anti-viral protection and the other will investigate Wolbachia infection and titres regulation.

Location: The Gulbenkian Institute (IGC) is an international institute located in a seaside town close to Lisbon, Portugal, and integrated in a multidisciplinary campus. It is a world-leading biology research center, providing state-of-the-art core facilities and an exciting research environment. The IGC Postdoctoral Research Program focuses on developing postdoc research, independence and leadership skills.

Academic Profile and Selection Criteria: We are seeking candidates with a PhD degree in Biology or related areas but we will also consider other backgrounds. For the position focused on Wolbachia titres regulation, experience in genomics is required. Previous experience in Drosophila genetics, microbiology, host-microbe interactions, immunity and other related areas are valued. We are seeking highly motivated researchers that work independently and interact in a team. The candidates should have a good level of written and spoken English.

Subsidy Month Stipend: According to the table of IGC, as well as the experience of the person, plus social security. The payment will be made by bank transfer.

Application Documents: A one-page motivation letter, Curriculum vitae, and two contacts for references should be sent to the e-mail address below, in a single PDF file named “CandidateName_Wolbakian_PD.pdf”.

Application Period: Applications will be accepted until the vacancies are filled.
