Two HFSP-funded postdoctoral positions (each for a duration of 3 years) are available from 1 December 2016
to study the development, robustness and evolution of QR neuroblast migration in C. elegans and related species,
in the laboratories of Hendrik Korswagen at the Hubrecht Institute, The Netherlands
and of Marie-Anne Félix at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France.
The collaborative project is based on the recent finding by the Korswagen group that this migration is controlled
through the timed expression of a Wnt receptor (see Mentink et al. Dev Cell 2014 for more information) and
an important aim of the project is to understand how such precise timing of gene expression is achieved.
If you are interested in one of these positions, please send a CV, a statement of research accomplishments and interests,
and the contact information of three references to
