The Laboratory of Host-Pathogen Interactions of the Institut Pasteur de Montevideo is calling for applicants to carry out their PhD thesis with an hourly load of 30 hours per week.<\/p>\n
We are looking for people interested in doing their PhD thesis, graduates of the Facultad de Ciencias, Medicina, Qu\u00edmica or equivalent training, who have completed their Master’s degree <\/u>and who are interested in the study of maternal-fetal interaction and transplacental transmission of pathogens.<\/p>\nExperience<\/h3>\n
Experience in the areas of molecular biology, cell biology and work with animal models will be valued, but not exclusive.<\/p>\n
Within the ANII project “Molecular mechanisms of vertical transmission in Chagas disease”, there is an opportunity to carry out a PhD thesis. This involves working on the project objectives and also exploring additional questions about the molecular basis of transplacental transmission of pathogens.<\/p>\n
The selected person will be responsible for investigating the modulation of gene expression and host immune response as a means of persistence and vertical transmission. Molecular and cellular biology techniques will be used, as well as massive sequencing, bioinformatics and work with animal models.<\/p>\n
In addition to these tasks, the student will be able to develop his\/her thesis within a collaborative work group and with experience in the topic of work, thus providing an enriching and formative experience.<\/p>\n
The project has funding for an ANII Doctorate scholarship, available within the framework of the project.<\/p>\n
The position is highly dedicated and will have a duration of 3 years starting in mid-2024. <\/p>\n
Registration for the PEDECIBA doctoral program will be a requisite, the deadline for which is February 2024. <\/p>\n
We invite interested persons to apply through this link<\/strong><\/a> attaching the following documents in pdf format:<\/p>\n\n
