Postdoctoral position at NYU

Postdoc position available:

Description

A postdoctoral position is available at the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology within the Department of Biology at New York University (http://biology.as.nyu.edu). The successful applicant will join Ercan laboratory, a new research group with a focus on understanding the role of chromatin in transcription, chromosome segregation and development. Current projects include, but are not limited to (1) mechanism of transcription repression by a condensin-like complex, (2) chromosomal targeting of condensins, (3) role of linker histones in development and aging. We use C. elegans as a model organism and perform genomic and biochemical experiments. This position is an exciting opportunity to perform research in the expanding field of epigenomics in a collaborative environment that houses experts in genomics, systems biology and developmental biology.

Qualification

The candidate should have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics or a related field. Applications from individuals with experience in genomics, or C.elegans molecular biology are encouraged.

How to apply

Applicants should submit their CV and the contact information of three references to Dr. Sevinc Ercan (se71@nyu.edu) with email subject “Postdoctoral application”.
