PhD and POSTOC POSITIONS AVAILABLE. Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) expression profiling on circulating tumor cells at the Institute of Biotechnology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic and partly at TATAA Biocenter in Sweden under the guidance of Dr Mikael Kubista.

Currently the group focuses on the enrichment and characterization of tumor cells collected from circulation of patients or animal models by means of high throughput qPCR. Work includes designing workflow that includes sample preparation, enrichment, pre-amplification, high throughput expression profiling, and data analysis. The group collaborates with leading European and US medical centers that provide patient samples and clinical expertise.

The successful applicant will have base at the Institute of Biotechnology at the Krc campus of the Academy of sciences in the Czech Republic. Part of the work may be performed at TATAA Biocenter in Sweden. The position is initially for 12 months and may be extended.
