Post-doc position in the Laboratory of Programmable Polymers, headed by Dr. Hab. Róża Szweda, Prof. AMU.
Project description:
Since ancient times, people have had to store information to pass on gained knowledge to future generations. Currently, the amount of data generated is almost twice bigger than the capacity of conventional media such as hard drives or flash memory devices, and the trend is growing rapidly. The PolyDigit project aims to develop polymeric data storage materials that can be used for long-term data archiving.
The project received funding from the National Science Center (no. 2021/42/E/ST4/00010) in the Sonata Bis competition.
More information about the activities of the Programmable Polymers Team can be found at swedalab.com.

Research position of Post-doc located at the Centre for Advanced Technologies in the OPUS 23 project No. UMO-2022/45/B/NZ2/02183 " Mechanistic Understanding of picd-1 in Transposon Silencing and Genome Maintenance"

The aim of the project is to deeply understand the role of picd-1 in silencing of the repeat elements such transposons. Our preliminary results suggest that the loss of picd-1 leads to the depletion of specific siRNAs with the concomitant increase in various classes of DNA and RNA transposons, massive DNA damage and cell death resulting in fully penetrant sterility when the worms are grown at semi-permissive temperature. We aim to characterize picd-1 and decipher its mechanism of action.

One Post-doc position is now available to work on mechanisms and evolution of post-copulatory mate choice in humans, in a new research group in the Institute of Human Biology and Evolution at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland.

The position is part of a project funded by the Polish National Science Centre: Condition-dependent mechanisms of gamete-level mate choice (postmating sexual selection) in humans. The project will test the role of immunocompetence of a male in cryptic female choice on the gamete level, to shed light on post-copulatory sexual selection in humans. The main aim of the project is to investigate how the male condition, measured as the ability to recognize pathogens, affects sperm performance, in the post-mating context in humans.

You will join a recently started research group led by Aleksandra Łukasiewicz. The application should include i.e. professional CV including scientific achievements, a list of publications, a cover letter summarizing previous work experience and future interests, contact information for two professional references, and be addressed to dr Aleksandra Łukasiewicz, a.lukasiewicz@amu.edu.pl
