The Regulatory Genomics Laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine in Muenster, Germany is offering a
ZENCODE-ITN PhD Position in Epigenetics and Computational Biology
(position code 15-2016)
The Laboratory, headed by Juan M Vaquerizas, seeks to appoint a highly motivated scientist to work on computational analyses of genome organisation and evolution as part of the ZENCODE-ITN (www.birmingham.ac.uk/zencode-itn). The scientific focus of the ZENCODE ITN consortium is to understand genome regulation through combined experimental and computational approaches in a model vertebrate. In particular, the successful candidate will analyse genome-wide gene expression and chromatin binding datasets at early stages of zebrafish embryonic development to investigate how developmental gene expression programmes are deployed. The project will focus on the analysis of mobile elements and their impact in the regulation of early embryonic development, and will be performed in close collaboration with Ferenc Mueller and Boris Lenhard’s laboratories.
Terms of employment
Applicants of any nationality must, at the time of recruitment (1 October 2016) be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers after their first degree, which would entitle them to embark on a doctorate. Due to mobility requirement, only individuals who have not been resident in the host country (Germany) for more than 12 months in the last 3 years may apply. The position will be funded according to the regulations of the “Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions”, a EU-framework program for research and innovation.
How to apply
Applications should be sent as a single PDF file by email via the "Apply" button by 10 September 2016 at the latest. These should include: (i) a cover letter explaining your motivation to join this project; (ii) a full CV (including full transcripts from the BSc/MSc degrees); (iii) a statement of past research (MSc Thesis); (iv) the position-code 15-2016 and 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@mpi-muenster.mpg.de).
