Postdoc

We are a seeking an ambitious postdoc who is willing to work in a highly collaborative environment to conduct interdisciplinary research. Bioinformaticians as well as wet-lab genomics experts are encouraged to apply.

In our laboratory we develop and apply new genomics and bioinformatics technologies to understand how regulatory elements in mammalian genomes control gene expression. By means of a new powerful "genome scrambling" method we study how the linear and 3D architecture of the genome enables enhancers and promoters to function.

Furthermore, in the context of a 7-lab consortium we have developed deep learning algorithms to reliably predict promoter activity from DNA sequence, and we use these to understand the impact of non-coding mutations in cancer. We have also developed reporter assays to study enhancer-promoter interplay and to monitor the activity of dozens of transcription factors in parallel. These unique technology platforms, either individually or in combination, offer many opportunities for exciting postdoc projects.
