Use of the C.elegans model system to study neurodegenerative diseases.
For 100% of the time, until the end of the MOSAiC-SMA project, the work will focus on using the C.elegans model system to study new biomarkers in SMA; thereafter, the C.elegans model system will be "used to study the effect of PEA and CLA in models of ALS" and "to study the effect of new molecules in models of SMA
Selection process
The examining committee has a total of 100 points available, distributed as follows:40 points for the scientific-professional curriculum vitae, 30 points for the selected publications, 30 points for the interview. The interview will focus on the topic of the Call for Applications. The selection process involves obtaining a merit ranking based on the decreasing order of the final score obtained by each candidate based on the sum of the scores obtained in the evaluation of qualifications and the interview. In the event of a tie, the younger candidate will be given preference
): knowledge in the field of the topic covered by this selection, in particular in the use of the C. elegans model system for the study of neurodegenerative diseases; proven experience of molecular biology techniques; proven experience in the use of model organisms, preferably C. elegans
