This project is multidisciplinary combining computational methods such as<br\/>in silico drug design, homology modelling, molecular dynamic analysis and wet-lab methods,<br\/>including cell culture, molecular biology, advanced imaging and mouse models. It is a great<br\/>opportunity for a candidate that is interested in both computational and wet-lab studies.<br\/>Duration of the project is 36 months (with one year additional support for PhD students by<br\/>TUB\u0130TAK). Scholarship for PhD students is 24.000\u20ba (up to 30.000\u20ba with the additional life<br\/>support fund provided by Kadir Has University).<br\/>For more information on NeuroBM Lab please check: https:\/\/neurobm.khas.edu.tr\/ and<br\/>https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/neurobm-laboratory\/<br\/>https:\/\/x.com\/NeuroBm_Lab<br\/>Requirements:<br\/>&#8211; MSc degree in Molecular Biology, Neuroscience or a similar field preferred for PhD applicants<br\/>(or will receive MSc degree by Dec, 2024). Must be in good standing (GPA at least 3\/4).<br\/>&#8211; Must have wet-lab experience (at least 2 years).<br\/>&#8211; Experience with cell culture and using aseptic method is desired. Previous work experience<br\/>with primary neuron and astrocyte cultures is a big plus. Experience with dissecting mouse<br\/>brain tissue is a big plus.<br\/>&#8211; Preferably experienced with basic molecular biology and biochemistry methods such as :<br\/>qPCR, cloning, DNA\/RNA isolation, western blot.<br\/>&#8211; Preferably experienced working with mouse tissue and mouse handling. Experimental animal<br\/>use certificate will be a bonus.<br\/>-Basic coding skills such as Phyton and R studio is desirable.<br\/>&#8211; Experience and knowledge for microscope is a plus.<br\/>&#8211; Fluent English is necessary. Please send applications in English.<br\/>&#8211; Adaptable, flexible, curious, team-player, problem-solver and open to learning\/ operating new<br\/>devices. Must be able to work in a fast-paced environment.<br\/>Interested candidates please send your CV, cover letter and contact information for two<br\/>references to yasemin.onder@khas.edu.tr.
