    BACKGROUND

    The Regulatory Genomics Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany is offering

    Postdoctoral Positions in Genomic Analyses of Chromatin Conformation Dynamics
    (position code 17-2016)

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The laboratory, headed Juan M. Vaquerizas, seeks to appoint a highly motivated scientist to work on dissecting the molecular mechanisms that drive the establishment and maintenance of chromatin conformation in eukaryotes. In particular, the successful candidate will generate and analyse genome-wide Hi-C datasets to investigate how chromatin conformation is established and it's impact in regulating the correct deployment of developmental gene expression programmes. Specific tasks will include:
    • Generation and analysis of Hi-C datasets for different developmental transitions
    • Integration of RNA-seq and ChIP-seq datasets relevant to the systems under study

    REQUIREMENTS

    We are looking for enthusiastic and talented Postdoctoral Fellows with a PhD degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, (bio)-statistics, mathematics, or related fields, and with a strong drive to excel in a highly international and collaborative environment. Previous experience in genome-wide data analysis (eg, Hi-C, RNA-seq or ChIP-seq) will be a significant advantage, but is not a necessary requirement. Please make sure that you specify your level of proficiency in dealing with genomics data in your cover letter.

    TERMS

    The position is offered initially as a fixed-term appointment for one year with the possibility of further extension following a successful evaluation. The starting date for the position is 1 Oct 2016.

    LOCALE

    The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine offers a highly international and stimulating research environment with state-of-the-art equipment and core facilities for genomics, proteomics and cell biology. The Institute is located in Muenster (http://www.muenster.de/en/), one of the European Green Capitals and former UN's `The World's Most Liveable City' awardee. Extra administrative help will be available for foreign scientists. English is the working language in the Institute.

    HOW TO APPLY

    Applications should be sent as a single pdf file by email to career[at]mpi-muenster.mpg.de by 31 August 2016 at the latest. These should include: (i) a cover letter explaining your motivation to join this project; (ii) a full CV; (iii) the position-code 17-2016; and, (iv) the contact details of two academic referees. Incomplete applications will not be considered. For informal queries about the project please contact Juan M Vaquerizas (jmv[at]mpi-muenster.mpg.de).

    DEADLINE

    31 August 2016

    POLICY

    The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply. The Max-Planck society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
