Postdoctoral positions available for highly motivated candidates with a background in gene regulation and/or developmental biology to join UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) School of Medicine.
The group focuses on mechanistic understandings of how chromatin modifications define the epigenome, control gene expression and regulate cell proliferation versus differentiation of tissue-specific stem cells during development, and how their deregulations lead to human disease.
On-going projects include 1) biochemical characterization of several novel chromatin-associated factors/complexes, 2) mouse models with deficiency in histone methylation regulators in context of development or tumorigenesis.
Requirements:
Applicants should be self-motivated with a strong background, laboratory and analytical skills, as well as a track record of publication.
