The Max Planck Insititute (MPI) of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg, Germany offers a post-doctoral position in bioinformatics in the Department of Chromatin Regulation. The department is headed by Dr. Asifa Akhtar.

Duration: initially for 2 years; may be extended

Tasks involved:

• mechanisms underlying chromatin an epigenetic regulation
• lab uses fly and mouse models employing multidisciplinary approaches such as genetics, biochemistry, functional genomics, single cell analyses as well as cell biology and structural biology
• studying dosage compensation of the male X chromosome in fruit flies, role of non-coding RNAs in gene regulation and epigenetic regulation of cell fate decisions in mammals

Applicant must be enthusiastic, highly-motivated, science-driven and experienced scientist to join the team to reveal the molecular mechanisms that regulate gene expression.

Qualifications:

• Applicant must hold PhD or equivalent doctoral degree with at least 3 years of proven research experience in bioinformatics and analyses of genome wide data (ChIPseq, RNAseq).
• Applicants with prior experience of working with Drosophila or mouse models will have advantage.
• Applicant must hold strong publication record
