POSITION OVERVIEW:
Applications are invited for the position of postdoctoral fellow at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute (LTRI). The successful candidate will join the group led by Dr. Ramalho-Santos in the field of mammalian developmental epigenetics.
The lab is interested in the epigenetic control systems that govern early mammalian development and pluripotent stem cell biology. Our projects aim to: i) dissect regulation of hypertranscription during development, and ii) investigate the systems that sense environmental perturbations in embryos. We adopt approaches involve applying methods in transcriptomics, epigenomics, functional genomics and bioinformatics to mouse models, embryonic stem cell systems and mouse/ human embryo models.
Several postdoctoral fellow positions are immediately available.
