Gertraud Burger | open positions

Graduate student position: MSc in bioinformatics

A position will be available to predict RNA-binding proteins and infer their biological function. The system of choice is an organism with most diverse post-transcriptional processes in the nucleus and in mitochondria: the micro-eukaryote Diplonema. The set of proteins to be screened is the genome-inferred proteome. Function assignment will be based on guilt by association of an RNA-binding protein with interaction partners in (ribonucleo)protein complexes. Predicted candidates will be validated experimentally. More information on the lab's research program is available.
