Postdoctoral Positions: ERC: The ERC-supported DynaTrans Synergy Consortium, led by Thomas Gregor, Denis Duboule, and Gasper Tkacik, is seeking applications for postdoctoral positions. Collaborate with experts in genetics, developmental biology, stem cells, experimental, and theoretical biophysics. Explore the spatio-temporal dynamics of gene regulation during early mammalian embryonic development, focusing on mammalian pseudo-embryos (gastruloids).
Designation:
Postdoctoral Research Positions
Research Area:
Spatio-temporal dynamics of gene regulation during early mammalian embryonic development, with emphasis on mammalian pseudo-embryos (gastruloids).
Location:
Institut Pasteur and Collège de France in Paris, and Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) in Vienna.
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Interdisciplinary background.
- Ability to collaborate across distinct expertise areas.
- For computational focus: expertise in large-scale data analysis, probabilistic/Bayesian inference, model selection, or numerical polymer simulations.
Job Description:
Join the ERC DynaTrans Synergy Consortium: Postdoctoral Positions Available
The DynaTrans Synergy Consortium, supported by the ERC, is hiring postdoctoral researchers to unravel the spatio-temporal dynamics of gene regulation during early mammalian embryonic development. Work with cutting-edge microscopy, genomic and epigenetic techniques to analyze chromosome organization and dynamics at the individual gene level. Utilize stem cell technologies, genome editing, and biophysical modeling to understand the relationship between chromatin structure and gene expression.
Position Requirements:
- Collaborate closely with three teams with distinct expertise.
- Officially hosted by partner institutions (Institut Pasteur, Collège de France in Paris, and IST Austria in Vienna).
- Encourage seamless information exchange across different research areas.
- For computational focus: expertise in data analysis, probabilistic/Bayesian inference, model selection, or numerical polymer simulations.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit the following items via dynatrans.synergy@gmail.com or to the involved laboratories:
- Extended cover letter, including employment availability date, academic and research experience description, and contacts of at least two academics for reference letters.
- Curriculum vitae, including a list of publications.
Last Date for Apply: Until position filled
We welcome dynamic and collaborative individuals to contribute to groundbreaking research at the intersection of genetics, developmental biology, and biophysics.
