**University assistant predoctoral**:
50 Faculty of Life Sciences
Job vacancy starting: 02/03/2025 (MM-DD-YYYY) | Working hours: 30,00 | Classification CBA: -48 VwGr. B1 Grundstufe (praedoc)
Limited contract until: 02/02/2026
Job ID**:3326**
**Your personal sphere of influence**:
As a university assistant, you will perform independent research work in the course of your doctoral studies under supervision of Ass.Prof. Karin Ortmayr, PhD.
In our research group, we investigate the role of **cellular metabolism** in human cell functions using non-targeted metabolomics and cellular imaging techniques. The main field of research is the role of metabolism in **cancer cell quiescence** and the problem of **cancer recurrence**.
Although we tend to think of cancer cells only as rapidly dividing cells, mounting evidence suggests that subpopulations of non-dividing (quiescent) cancer cells can survive chemotherapy and even regrow, contributing to cancer recurrence. Our recent findings show that interfering with cellular metabolism in quiescent cancer cells could be a powerful strategy to reduce the risk for cancer recurrence. In this project, we will investigate the regulatory mechanisms behind the metabolic adaptation that promotes cancer cell quiescence and regrowth in vitro, using **CRISPR-Cas9 mediated genetic perturbations**, **live-cell imaging** and **mass spectrometry-based non-targeted metabolomics**.
**Your future tasks**:
You actively participate in research, teaching & administration, which means:
You will build on techniques previously established in our lab and will master
- **cell culture techniques** (including time-lapse microscopy) and **mass spectrometry-based non-targeted metabolomics**. You will perform genetic perturbations using
- **CRISPR-Cas9 technology** in a high-throughput setting (96-well format). You will learn to use
- **computational methods** and multivariate statistics to analyze information-rich phenotypic (i.e. cell growth/proliferation) and metabolomics data. You will
- **formulate mechanistic hypotheses** and experimentally verify links between genetic regulators and metabolic processes. You will prepare manuscripts for
- **publications as a first author** and is expected to present their work and actively participate in scientific exchanges at **local and international scientific meetings and conferences**. We expect you to finalize your
- **dissertation agreement** within 12-18 months. You will participate in
