Postdoctoral Fellow at European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) 898 views

The group of Arnaud Krebs (EMBL Heidelberg) at European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is looking for a postdoctoral candidate to develop a DFG funded project aiming at understanding the molecular mechanisms used by transcription factors at enhancers to activate transcription in the context of development (Reference number: HD02028).

Role:

• The project will study the mechanisms used by transcription factors to cooperate at enhancers and activate transcription.
• Successful candidates will study if the co-occupancy of specific TF combinations on DNA leads to transcription activation.
• The approach combines single cell, single molecule genomics with optogenetics, live imaging and high-throughput genetic perturbations.
• The postdoc candidate will profit from the expertise in single molecule genomics and computational biology within the Krebs lab.
• The work will be directly supported by the computational facility and the sequencing facility at EMBL.

Requirements:

• Applicant must hold PhD or equivalent qualification in Molecular Biology.
• Applicant must be interested in mechanisms of genome regulation, enthusiastic for large scale quantitative experimental biology.
