The project is funded entirely by the MINTRAF grant (code GA-101198761) from the El Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) located in Madrid.
Responsibilities
Genetic modification of proteins of the oxidative phosphorylation system or other mitochondrial proteins in mouse cells.
Analysis of physical interactions between respiratory complexes using native gels.
Functional assessment of mitochondrial bioenergetics through respiration assays, ATP production, respiratory chain complex activity, and detection of reactive oxygen species.
Collaboration in preparing scientific manuscripts, technical reports and funding proposals.
Participation in training and supervision of predoctoral staff and interns.
Essential Requirements
Hold a PhD in Life Sciences at the time of contract signing.
Co‑author or author of at least one article in internationally indexed scientific journals.
English level C1 or equivalent: Advanced (CAE), TOEFL 110‑120, IISLT 6.5/7.0.
Valuable Requirements
Experience with cell culture to study mitochondrial function.
Experience with mitochondria (isolation and functional assays) and super‑complexes of the respiratory chain (generation of native gels of various gradients).
Experience in genetic modification techniques for mammalian cells in culture: sequence design, CRISPR/Cas9 knock‑outs, vector cloning, and re‑expression of modified proteins.
Publication relevance and authorial position will be considered.
Interview will be conducted.
Offer
Incorporation to an internationally relevant research centre in the scientific field.
Access to advanced infrastructure and technology.
Integration into young teams in an environment of scientific excellence.
Indefinite-term scientific‑technical contract in accordance with the 23‑bis Article of the Science Law (text of Law 14/2011).
