We are looking for a skilled, enthusiastic, and motivated **postdoctoral scientist** to join our team. The successful applicant will take a lead role in the project on regulatory roles of tRNA modifications in protein synthesis. Training and supervision will be provided throughout the project, but we also expect a high level of drive and independence.
**About the Moll lab**
Our group aims to unravel molecular mechanisms underlying the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in Bacteria, with a special focus on the regulatory capacity of the ribosome. We investigate the intricacies of ribosome heterogeneity and reprogramming of protein synthesis _in vivo_ and _in vitro_, utilizing a comprehensive methodology that integrates advanced techniques in molecular biology and bacterial physiology employing the well-established model organism _Escherichia coli_.
Additionally, we enhance our research with structural studies to gain further insights into the various mechanisms that control ribosome diversity and selectivity. Current projects are aimed at understanding the role of conditional RNA modifications on translation dynamics in the bacterial stress response, which are embedded in the special research program SFB RNA-DECO, representing a consortium of top RNA research labs in Austria investigating RNA modifications.
As part of our group, you will closely collaborate with colleagues and the group leader and contribute to the development of the team. We strive for a supportive feedback culture, a diverse and international team, and a place for creative and rigorous science.- PhD degree in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or related fields.-
