Join the Tavernarakis Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB-FoRTH)
The Tavernarakis Lab at the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) (https://www.imbb.forth.gr) of the Foundation for Research and Technology, Hellas (FORTH), is seeking motivated graduate students and exceptionally qualified postdoctoral scientists to join our dynamic research team.
FORTH (https://www.forth.gr) is a leading research institution based in Crete, Greece, renowned for conducting cutting-edge scientific research in strategic, high-added-value sectors. With state-of-the-art facilities, an interdisciplinary research environment, and a team of highly qualified personnel, FORTH provides an ideal setting for scientific discovery. Crete, the largest Greek island, offers a stunning natural environment and a rich cultural heritage, making it one of the most beautiful places to live and work in the world.
In the Neurogenetics and Ageing Lab, we use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to explore key areas in molecular biology, including:
- Necrotic cell death and neurodegeneration
- The relationship between cellular metabolism and ageing
- Sensory transduction and integration in the nervous system
- Development of novel genetic tools for biomedical research
We are looking for ambitious graduate students with scientific curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills, as well as highly motivated postdoctoral associates with outstanding scientific and doctoral credentials. We encourage candidates from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds to apply.
Requirements
- Graduate Students: A strong background in molecular biology, neuroscience, or related fields. Prior experience with C. elegans is not required!
- Postdoctoral Scientists: A PhD in a relevant field with proven expertise in molecular biology, neurogenetics, or related areas.
How to Apply
Interested graduate students and postdoctoral candidates should send a detailed CV and a motivation letter to lab@elegans.gr
We look forward to discussing how your research interests can align with our ongoing projects.
