Marie Curie PhD in

Fungal Cell Biology3-year PhD fellowship at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis, France

We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic student for doctoral thesis research

on the molecular mechanisms of polarized growth and cell morphogenesis in both

the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human pathogenic yeast Candida

albicans. The project will start in 2014 and is directed at understanding the roles of

a range of G-proteins and phospholipids in external-signal mediated polarized

growth including during the mating process and the yeast to filamentous growth

transition. This work will be carried out at the CNRS/INSERM Institute of Biology

Valrose in Nice, France (http://ibv.unice.fr/EN/equipe/arkowitz.php). A range of

cell biological, molecular, and biochemical techniques will be used, in addition to

state of the art live-cell imaging methods, taking advantage of extensive on site com-

munal microscopy facilities. The project is part of a Marie Curie ITN consortium

of 12 European academic and industrial laboratories working at the forefront of

fungal research on a project entitled “Sensing and integration of signals governing

cell polarity and tropism in fungi” (FUNGIBRAIN) and will provide extensive train-

ing opportunities.
