Disease Epigenetics – Postdoc position:  Research Fellow /postdoc position is available at the Laboratory of Chromatin Dynamics & Disease Epigenetics at Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology.

Work themes: Epigenetics

1. To study how chromatin deficiencies underlie human diseases e.g. in cancer and developmental disorders.
2. Understanding of epigenetic-based mechanisms
3. Elucidate disease mechanisms
4. Development of noval epigenetic-based therapeutic modalities,
5. Re-engineering of cellular phenotypes through manipulation of chromatin structure
6. Regenerative medicine applications.

   Experimental approachs:

7. Use of Next-Generation Sequencing technologies
8. Genome-editing tools,
9. Biochemical and molecular assays,
10. Stem cells and animal models.

Overview of the position:

The laboratory is looking for a highly motivated researcher with relevant hands-on-experience in developmental biology, biochemistry, or any other related fields. Candidates with prior laboratory experience in genomics, chromatin biology and/or stem cell biology will be favorable. The selected candidate will commence research related to epigenetic mechanisms in the development and disease.

Qualificational requirements:

1. Possess a Ph.D. in relevant field from a well-recognized University.
2. Good publication records in peer-reviewed journals.
