| == Postdoc positions ==
| |

|
| |
| Postdoc positions are open in the OROBOROS Mitochondrial Research Laboratory for scientific projects on mitochondrial respiratory control in collaboration with the Medical University and Leopold-Franzens-University of Innsbruck ([[MitoFit]]).
| |
| | |
| | |
| In particular we invite candidates to join our group in the context of the new project [[O2k-MitoFit]]. In collaboration with the Section of Bioinformatics, a '''MitoFit-Knowledge Management Platform''' will be developed, ''providing the first standardized measures to link human mitochondrial health to physiome and genome data''. A novel '''MitoFit proficiency test''' will use a '''reference sample of cryopreserved mitochondria''', ''enabling a presently unattainable level of quality control in respiratory studies''.

| In the Mitochondrial Research Laboratory of Prof. Erich Gnaiger the latest techniques in O2k-Fluorometry and O2k-Spectrophotometry are available and a Power-O2k approach with up to 12 O2k-instruments (24 chambers) provides the basis of high-output in high-resolution respirometry. Data generated in our own laboratory and data from the literature should be organized to allow quantitative comparisons and documentation in a reference data base. Upon implementation of the MitoFit proficiency test, this quality control system will be offered to our O2k-Network Reference Laboratories in conjunction with extended technical support. This requires a solid understanding of mitochondrial respiratory physiology and international communication skills, providing a long-term perspective of collaboration. Therefore, the candidates should have a strong publication record demonstrating her/his conceptual competence in the field of mitochondrial physiology and writing skills. The positions can be filled immediately. The candidates should submit her/his application with CV and the best three publications to:

| The Mitochondrial Research Laboratory (Prof. Erich Gnaiger; Dept Visceral, Transplant, Thoracic Surgery, D Swarovski Res Lab, MUI; and OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS) offers a master thesis position. During the master thesis project, the student will be introduced into tissue preparation (skeletal and cardiac mouse muscle) for measurement of mitochondrial respiration. The main goal is to test, using a newly developed thermoelectric cooling plate, the influence of tissue storage time, storage solutions and temperature during tissue preparation on preservation of mitochondrial respiratory function. The results contribute to the (i) standardization of tissue preparation for experimental studies (mitochondrial competence in muscle tissue) and (ii) optimization of storage conditions for organ transplantation (heart).

| '''Innsbruck - the city in the Alps:''' Tyrol and its capital Innsbruck offer the highest standards of quality of life in Austria, combining the unique alpine surroundings with an excellent infrastructure. High living standards include international schools, a very good health care system, political stability and outdoor sport activities on the doorstep, e.g. skiing, hiking, mountain climbing. | |
