København N
A position as Postdoctoral Research Associate is available in the Center for Chromosome Stability (CCS) (www.ccs.ku.dk) in a group headed by Assoc. Prof. Ying Liu. The post is available from September 2024. Highly motivated and committed candidates with an interest in eukaryotic DNA replication and DNA damage repair, are encouraged to apply.
The Center for Chromosome Stability
The CCS is a Center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation (DNRF) and its mission is to advance our understanding of how chromosomal instability causes human disease. The CCS is embedded at the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine (https://icmm.ku.dk/english/). The working language in the CCS is English.
Our group and research
The Liu group (https://icmm.ku.dk/english/research-groups/liu-group/) aims to understand the molecular mechanisms that maintain eukaryotic genome stability during DNA replication using a combination of genetic and cell biological techniques.
Project description
Genome instability is a hallmark of inherited human disorders and age-related diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer. Eukaryotic genomes are replicated by complex molecular machines called replisomes, which frequently encounter naturally occurring ‘obstacles’ that can prevent faithful DNA replication and induce genome instability. This can lead to a failure to complete replication during S-phase and a requirement for DNA synthesis to proceed into mitosis in a process called mitotic DNa synthesis (MiDAS). The Liu group aims to characterize the mechanism by which MiDAS occurs in human cancer cells.
Start date: 15th September 2024 (or at a mutually agreed date)
Duration: 20 months
Weekly working hours: 37
The Department
The Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine focuses on basic cellular and molecular biological processes, their regulation and their significance for cell function, interaction and organisation in tissues. The Department offers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate teaching programs spanning cell biology, genetics and basic human biology, including chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, as well as anatomy.
