Briefly, the post-doctoral fellow will work on a project that aims to elucidate, translationally, how a liver mitochondrial membrane protein (MTCH2) can participate in the hepatic lipid accumulation.

Further, we will try to understand if this mechanism can be another signaling pathway by which physical exercise promotes its beneficial effects in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

The selected candidate will be based in the School of Applied Sciences of the University of Campinas (FCA-UNICAMP) in Limeira, state of São Paulo, Brazil.

It is a prerequisite that the candidate has an educational background (undergraduate, master's and in the health area, presents previous experience with cell culture and molecular biology techniques, such as recombinant DNA technology and analysis of gene expression.

Moreover, it is desirable that the candidate has knowledge about CRISPR / Cas9, Cre / LoxP and primary cell culture techniques.

Finally, the candidate does not need to have previous knowledge / experience with exercise.

The selection process will consist of the analysis of the candidate's application documents and interviews with those selected.

The result of the selection process will be informed by email. The interview will also be scheduled by email. Activities are expected to start in February 2021 (which may be changed).
