The Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM) at SDU is recruiting a postdoc in Epigenetics.
The position is available in the laboratory of DNRF Chair and Novo Nordisk Faculty Professor Vijay Tiwari (https://www.tiwarilab.org/) for six months - from May 1, 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter) – October 31, 2024 - with the possibility of extension.
The Department of Molecular Medicine (IMM) aims to generate new knowledge on the function of the human body and disease mechanisms, thereby contributing to improved human health. IMM hosts an interdisciplinary group of experts in neurobiology and cancer biology and is in close proximity to the experts in genomics, proteomics and chromatin biology. Such a promising environment elicits translational collaborations with clinical practice and research toward understanding mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of various human diseases.
The postdoc will lead research on epigenetic regulation of cell-fate specification during development and disease and will support ProfessorTiwari in smooth running of the laboratory at various levels. The group employs cutting-edge epigenetics and molecular biology tools in combination with genomics and computational biology approaches to generate comprehensive models of epigenetic regulation of gene expression during embryonic development and its misregulation in disease including neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer.
