Ghent University Belgium Stress Signalling Postdoc Opening

December 30, 2018
Postdoc position on ER Stress Signaling Pathways in Macrophages 

Last application date Dec 31, 2018 23:55
Department GE35 - Department of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics
Contract Limited duration
Degree PhD in biomedical sciences

Job description The postdoc will be involved in a completely novel project dedicated to understanding the role of ER stress signaling pathways in the apoptotic engulfment process of macrophages. This cell clearance process has several facets, including how a phagocyte senses a corpse in a tissue (find-me signals), how the corpse is recognized (eat-me signals) and internalized via specific phagocytic receptors, how the cargo contents are processed (via metabolomics), and how the apoptotic cell clearance process is anti-inflammatory (compared to other types of cell death). 

Prof. Janssens’ and Prof. Ravichandran’s laboratory address ER stress biology and cell clearance via cutting edge cellular and molecular biology approaches, combined with in vivo mouse immunology, disease models, and complementary ex vivo studies. 

We offer a 2-year contract with possibility for extension.
