OPEN POST-DOC POSITION - FCT-ALBA funded project

Under the collaborative agreement between FCT and ALBA, a Postdoctoral Researcher position at ALBA’s Life Sciences section is been offered in the “Imaging phosphorylation-dependent stress response pathways in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells” project. 

This Iberian FCT-ALBA project was awarded to Dr. Célia Romão (ITQB NOVA, PT) and Dr. Federico Herrera (FCUL/BioISI, PT),  in collaboration with Dr. Vanesa Fernandez (University of Oviedo, SP); and, from the ALBA, the teams are headed by Dr. Eva Pereiro (MISTRAL beamline, SP) and Dr. Roeland Boer (XALOC beamline, SP).

The project aims to “Imaging phosphorylation-dependent stress response pathways in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells” and will include state-of-the-art imaging methodologies, namely correlative microscopy, cryo soft X-ray tomography and soft X-ray transmission microscopy, as well as structural biology studies using X-ray crystallography. The postdoctoral researcher will be funded by both FCT and ALBA and employed by ALBA. This will be a fascinating and challenging pilot project that will contribute enormously to the scientific questions that are being addressed, especially by using imaging methodologies that are not currently implemented in Portugal, namely cryo soft X-ray tomography and soft X-ray transmission microscopy.
