PostDoc - Structural genomics

Centro Nacional de Análisis Genómico

Barcelona, Spain

 

Description

 

The CNAG started operating in March 2010 with a park of twelve second generation DNA sequencers supported by an extensive informatics infrastructure, becoming one of the major Genome Sequencing Centers in Europe. The CNAG is actively involved in collaborative research projects on a number of specific topics: Disease Gene Identification, Cancer Genomics, Genomics of Infectious Diseases, Model Organism Genomics and Synthetic Biology Genomics of Model Organisms. In addition, we participate in several consortia of networked projects such as the International Cancer Genome Consortium (www.icgc.org), and EU-funded projects such as READNA, AIRPROM, SYBARIS, ESGI and BLUEPRINT. The CNAG seeks a talented researcher with a strong background in experimental and computational analysis for the Structural Genomics Group working on genome organization and architecture for the elucidation of genome regulation. This post is funded by a HFSP research grant. The successful candidate will report to the Structural Genomics Group Leader. Responsibilities:

 

- Implement experimental methods for interrogating the 3D structure of the genome.
- Use of 3C-based technologies for the study of structural changes in the nucleus.
- Complementation of existing efforts on genome structure determination.

 

Requirements

 

-  PhD in Biology.
-  Demonstrated experience in 3C-based technologies.
-  Knowledge of genome organization and chromatin structure is considered essential.
-  Good publication record.
-  Experience in Light microscopy will be considered a plus.
