Position in Protein Quality Control and Myopathies

This postdoctoral position in the Clausen Group at IMP focuses on understanding the impact of disease mutations on protein lifespan, using C. elegans as a model organism to study proteostasis mechanisms in age-related myopathies. The successful candidate will utilize advanced techniques such as fluorescent reporters, genome-wide screens, and mechanistic studies on ubiquitination and autophagy to investigate protein aggregation and muscle dysfunction. The position offers access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative research environment at the Vienna Biocenter.
