Prague Czechia Cell Biology Developmental Biology

About the Project

Department of Developmental Biology: http://www.iem.cas.cz/en/research/departments/department-of-developmental-biology/

We use knock-out technologies in mice and zebrafish for studying the role of cranial neural crest cells during the embryonic development of head structures. This project will focus on the function of the Wnt/planar cell polarity pathway during neural crest cell differentiation, mesenchymal condensation and bone formation. The conditional knock-out approach and pehnotypical analysis in the mice will be supplemented with explant cultures of embryonic tissues.

Candidate profile:

The ideal candidate will have a MSc. degree and should have an interest in the developmental biology field in general. We are seeking a highly motivated person with technical skills and a good level of education.

How to apply: www.iem.cas.cz/phd

If you are interested, please visit the official website and submit the simple online application form. You can apply for up to 3 PhD positions. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

Funding Notes

After admission to the graduate program, the student usually receives an academic fellowship. In addition, the student becomes an IEM CAS employee and receives a salary (including payments towards social and healthcare insurance) and other benefits. This is financed by internal and grant funds of the IEM CAS.
