Summary
The Andergassen lab at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is seeking candidates for Postdoctoral and Ph.D. positions to investigate the role of epigenetic changes during aging in relation to sex-biased diseases. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work in a cutting-edge research environment focused on innovative gene therapy techniques and molecular mechanisms involving sex differences in health and disease.
Postdoctoral and Ph.D. Positions in the Epigenetics of Aging and Sex-Biased Disease, University of Munich, Germany
Designation
- Postdoctoral Researcher
- Ph.D. Candidate
Job Details
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Epigenetics, Aging, and Sex-Biased Disease |
| Location | Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Technical University of Munich, Germany |
| Eligibility | Ph.D. in molecular biology (PostDoc) / Master’s in molecular biology (Ph.D.) |
| Experience | Wet-lab experience, library preparation for NGS, Linux/Unix, and R programming |
Eligibility/Qualification
- Postdoctoral Applicants:
- Ph.D. in molecular biology with a computational background.
- At least one first-author publication.
- Ph.D. Applicants:
- Master’s in molecular biology with a computational background.
- Strong wet-lab experience.
- Proficiency in library preparation for next-generation sequencing.
- Familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and R programming.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
- Highly motivated with a commitment to scientific excellence.
Job Description
The successful candidates will engage in research that bridges computational methods (allele-specific epigenomics) with experimental approaches (bulk and single-cell sequencing, CRISPR-based in vivo editing). The primary focus will be understanding molecular mechanisms underlying sex differences in diseases, particularly concerning genes that escape X-chromosome inactivation in females.
How to Apply
Candidates should send their complete application documents including a cover letter, CV, and certificates via email to:
Prof. Dr. Daniel Andergassen
