Opportunity: Post.doc in Epigenomics and Genome Replication in the Groth Group at BRIC @ University of Copenhagen -- Copenhagen, Denmark
Submitted by Signatur AS; posted on Thursday, March 30, 2017
BACKGROUND
We seek a highly motivated and independent computational biologist to develop innovative genomic tools to dissect principles of epigenetic cell memory in mammals.
Our research/The group:
Our research goal is to understand how chromatin is replicated and epigenetic information propagated in dividing cells, and how this impinges on epigenetic changes in disease. We are focusing on mechanisms involved in replication-coupled chromatin dynamics, propagation of DNA methylation and histone-based information. To this end we are applying innovative proteomic and genomic approaches in combination with cutting-edge cell biology, advanced imaging and biochemistry.
Our key recent publications include:
Saredi et al., Nature 534:714, 2016
Alabert et al., Genes Dev 29:585, 2015
Huang et al., Nat Struct Mol Biol 2015
Alabert et al., Nat Cell Biol 16:29, 2014
The research project:
The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary team working on how epigenetic information is transmitted in self-renewing cells. In particular, the lab is currently developing a panel of genomic tools to interrogate the impact of DNA replication on epigenome composition and transcription. The candidate will develop bioinformatic pipelines for these tools and optimally also be engaged in the wet-lab application of those tool to fundamental questions in epigenetics including how DNA replication influence transcription factor occupancy and 3D genome organization.
Start: 1 September 2017 or after agreement
Duration: 2 years with possibility of extension
REQUIREMENTS
Qualifications and skills:
We expect you to be a highly motivated and ambitious scientist with the following qualifications and skills:
- A PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology or life sciences
- Documented experience with NGS data workflow and analysis (e.g. ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, HI-C, OK-seq, RNA-seq)
- Experience including a combination of scripting, programming, and statistical analysis
- Background in epigenomics / genomics
- Previous experience in cell and molecular biology is an advantage
- Ability to grasp complex problems and deliver creative, practical solutions
- Proven ability to envision, plan and execute a research project
- Excellent English skills written and spoken
The ideal candidate will be a team player and have excellent communication skills.
For further information regarding the position, please contact Professor Anja Groth (anja.groth[at]bric.ku.dk)
TERMS
Terms of salary and employment:
Salary, pension and terms of employment will be in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Academics Central organization. Currently, the monthly salary starts at 32.351 DKK/ca. 4.250 Euro plus pension. Depending on qualifications, a higher salary may be negotiated.
Non-Danish and Danish applicants may be eligible for tax reductions, if they hold a PhD degree and have not lived in Denmark the last 10 years.
The position is covered by the "Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at the Universities" of June 28, 2013.
LOCALE
Place of employment:
The employment is at BRIC, University of Copenhagen. BRIC is located in the Biocenter, close to the centre of Copenhagen.
