We are seeking a talented and motivated PhD student to join a research team headed by Dr. Tomas Barta at Masaryk University, Faculty of Medicine
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to perform research in the area of molecular mechanisms of human ciliopathies with a special focus on retinal inherited diseases using human retinal organoids as a model. The major research focus is on the mutations in genes coding for regulators of the retinal and primary cilia maintenance. However, contribution to other research projects that use human retinal organoids to address other aspects of human retinal physiology is also anticipated. The selected candidate will have access to state-of-the-art methodology and instrumentation (live imaging, lentiviral gene delivery, gene editing, high-resolution confocal microscopy, NGS, pluripotent stem cells, organoids).

How to apply?
Send a cv and a brief letter of interest to Tomáš Bárta (tbarta@med.muni.cz) until 23. October 2022. After the first round of the selection process, the selected applicants will be invited to submit their PhD application to university system.
We are seeking a talented and motivated candidate to join our research team. Our lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms behind retinal development and disease using human pluripotent stem cells. We specialize in creating retinal organoids, “eye-like” organoids, and other retinal cell types to model eye development and associated disorders, with a particular interest in photoreceptor biology.
