Biomedical Center, Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Charles University, is seeking postdoctoral fellows and PhD students (PDF flyer for download) for topics in translational cancer research (molecular biology, immunology, bioinformatics). The positions are open at the Laboratory of Translational Cancer Genomics, which is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 Chaperon project and led by Professor Kari Hemminki.
The Ph.D. study topics are:
Immune markers in progression of colorectal cancer
Telomere dysfunction in progression to colorectal cancer
The postdoc positions are also focused on colorectal cancer. The aims are to assess genetic and cellular changes taking place in the progression of colorectal cancer from precursor tumors to colorectal cancer and then to metastases, taking into account constant background interactions with the immune system. The results will help reveal the role of genetic and cellular events at different phases of tumor development with possible clues about therapeutic targets.

Societies are in a permanent dialogue with change. Change is dealt with in configurations of the present and societies’ visions of the future, entailing reflections and re-constructions of the past. Our apprehension of the features and dimensions of change drives political, economic and cultural responses, at the individual and collective level. Furthermore, change is perceived as a positive or negative outcome or prospect, as an opportunity or a threat, driving the social actors’ struggles for maintenance or reconfiguration of power positions.
This colloquium aims to bring together scholars from a diverse set of foci and backgrounds, from the broad area of media and communication studies, to examine, discuss and reflect upon, through various approaches and methods, how change is constructed, in media and communication practices.
Abstracts of 500 words (in English) can be submitted by 15 June 2020 to Vaia Doudaki (vaia.doudaki@fsv.cuni.cz).
Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 10 July 2020.
