1. PhD Position in Biochemistry<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your studies in Biochemistry will be in the project: “Nuclear membrane proteins in chromatin organization, cell differentiation and cancer”. The cell nucleus is surrounded by a nuclear membrane containing a large number of unique membrane proteins. The repertoire of nuclear membrane proteins varies during development and differentiation of different tissues. Nuclear membrane proteins play important roles in the organization of chromatin and control of gene expression. Especially during cell differentiation, major chromatin reorganizations take place. Disorganized chromatin is associated with aging and human diseases, such as cancer. In fact, the cell differentiation state and associated chromatin organization have major impact on cancer progression and patient prognosis. The aim of the project is to identify and investigate nuclear membrane proteins involved in chromatin organization, using a combination of modern recombinant DNA techniques, cell culture, advanced microscopy and quantitative image analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. PhD Position\u00a0in Neurochemistry (A) <\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

In this project, you will apply electrophysiology to determine the intrinsic membrane properties of hypothalamic neurons, how they connect to each other, and how these features are subject to plasticity as the system adapts to physiological changes and challenges. The system will be studied in organotypic culture and ex vivo brain slices; in vivo recordings may also be included. In addition, anatomical techniques (e.g. immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, reconstruction of filled neurons) will be applied to understand the structural substrate of network interactions. Prior experience in the above techniques, especially patch clamp electrophysiology and organotypic cultures of brain tissue, is a strong advantage (please include documentation). Training in the principles of neuronal networks and knowledge of the organization and function of the neuroendocrine system is also a considerable merit. Proficiency in written and spoken English is required. <\/span><\/p>\n

7. PhD Position in Neurochemistry (B)<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The laboratory of Dr. Marek Bartosovic studies epigenetic programs underlying gene expression changes during development and in disease. We have previously developed new technologies to investigate the epigenome at the single-cell resolution and also pioneered high resolution spatially-resolved epigenomics on the DBiT platform. We also use cutting-edge molecular techniques such as scATAC-seq, CUT&Run, HiChIP, HiC, massive parallel reporter assay and genome\/epigenome editing using CRISPR\/Cas9 in order to understand the causal relationship between the epigenome and the transcriptome. We combine the wet lab approaches with deep bioinformatic analysis of the obtained data.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. PhD Position in Physical Geography: Coupled hydromechanical modelling of fractures in bedrock<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

The doctoral research will be conducted within the framework of a project on modelling coupled hydromechanical analysis of rock stress, permeability and transmissivity changes caused by tunnel excavation in heterogeneous discrete fracture networks for quantification of groundwater leakage. Groundwater flow in crystalline rock occurs through fractures and deformation zones. Understanding these flows and how they change subject to excavation is important for assessing environmental impacts. This project will study changes in the stress field in the excavation disturbed zone and how that impacts fracture aperture and permeability as well as the effects it has on groundwater flow in the surrounding rock.<\/span><\/p>\n

13. PhD Position in Bioinformatics (1-2)<\/span><\/h1>\n

Summary of Doctoral Project:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Protein structure is essential for understanding their function as well as for developing drugs targeting proteins. Recently, a deep learning method that can predict the structure of most proteins was made freely available, and a database with predicted structure was released. However, proteins do not act alone – they act together with other proteins. Therefore, the next major challenge is to use these types of methods for predicting protein-protein interactions. Initial studies from us have shown that it is possible to predict accurate structures of a large part of dimeric proteins using either a modified version of AlphaFold2 or AlphaFold-multimer. However, there are still many proteins that cannot be built accurately, nor are we able always to distinguish interacting from non-interacting protein pairs and to build larger complexes accurately is still an unsolved problem. <\/span><\/p>\n
