Multiple post-doctoral research positions are available in the laboratory of Prof. Peter De Wulf, which recently moved from the European Institute of Oncology (Milan, Italy) to the Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento, Italy (http://www.cibio.unitn.it).

Available projects include the study of (i) how a minimally understood, conserved kinase regulates the timing of kinetochore assembly and re-organization during the S. cerevisiae cell cycle and (ii) how a novel and conserved ubiquitin-driven response pathway ensures kinetochore subunit homeostasis in S. cerevisiae.

Knowledge of molecular biology, biochemistry, fluorescence (live-cell) microscopy and/or genetics is appreciated. Additional experience with yeast cell cycle biology (mitosis or meiosis) is an advantage. Please send your curriculum vitae to peter.dewulf@unitn.it.
