Nr. 2020_22). The position is available in the Pullamsetti Group / Lung Vascular Epigenetics Group. The postdoctoral research fellow and a PhD student will be studying transcriptional and epigenetic landscape underlying Pulmonary Hypertension, a chronic lung and cardiovascular disease.
Requirements:
- For both positions, good knowledge of molecular and cellular biology approaches, and biological assays in general is essential.
- A demonstrated ability to communicate well, work within a team and maintain good laboratory records are also expected.
- For Postdoctoral position applicants should have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant subject with the appropriate experience and track record.
- Applicant with a strong background on CRISPR, high-throughput technologies and molecular biology is encouraged to apply.
