We are looking for highly motivated PhD students and post doctoral fellows for exciting research on circular RNAs (circRNAs) .
Our lab uses both Drosophila and mammalian systems to unravel the role of these new type of non coding RNAs in brain function and behavior .
Our laboratory is one of the leaders in this new and exciting field of research and this project is funded by at ERC Consolidator grant. The studies will require the use of the use of the most advanced biochemical, computational, genomic and neurobiology tools to determine the mechanisms by which circRNA regulate behavior. Our studies range from mechanistic biochemical and molecular characterization to neurobiology and behavioral assessment, including genomic, computational and system- level approaches.
Previous experience in molecular biology, Drosophila genetics or neurobiology is advisable but not required.
