Postdoctoral Associate, Biochemistry

Position Summary

A Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the Department of Biochemistry immediately to investigate regulation of chromatin 3D organization during mouse neuronal development. Specifically, the project will:

• Address a fundamental knowledge gap about how chromatin 3D organization determines transcription at a global scale in an explicitly defined neuronal development model.
• Integrate cutting-edge multi-omics at bulk, single-cell and spatial scales with computational analyses to investigate transcriptome, epigenome and chromatin architecture.
• Combine multi-omics with flow cytometry and state-of-the-art imaging to study chromatin architecture at super resolution.

Minimum Qualifications

• Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree (or equivalent) in any relevant field of Biology
• Molecular biology or bioinformatics skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. in Neuroscience or Genomics
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in molecular bench skills and/or data analysis. Preferred to have familiarity with R, Python, or related scientific programming languages
• Preferred to have experience with mouse models, molecular biology, neurobiology and/or ophthalmology, including advanced microscopy/imaging, multi-color flow cytometry, or genomics

Salary Range

$55,000 - $65,000
