Postdoctoral Researcher

Université de Lausanne

Lausanne, Switzerland

Posted 2/13/2023

The Gambetta lab is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher to study how 3D genome folding impacts gene regulation in development.
 
Project: How are regulatory elements guided to their target genes? You will study a unique and powerful paradigm we uncovered in which genes are controlled by regulatory elements located at flexible and surprising large genomic distances.

You will use genetics (Drosophila genome-engineering, genetic screens, comparative evolution), genomics (transcriptomics, chromatin accessibility, chromosome conformation capture, genome-wide screens, single-cell genomics), imaging (fixed and live), and biochemistry (proteomics).

Job information: Starting date: imminent or to be agreed. Contract length: 1+2+2 = 5 years. Full funding is available but candidates also apply to fellowships.

Your qualifications: You have a PhD degree in Biology or a related discipline. You have experience in genomics, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry or imaging. You have a track-record of performing quality research. You want to develop your skills in multidisciplinary cutting-edge research.

Your benefits: You will lead an interdisciplinary research project.  You will collaborate with other labs abroad.  You will use modern core facilities (for genomics, proteomics, imaging, flow cytometry) available in-house and on-campus. You will collaborate with the on-site Bioinformatics Competence Center for data analysis. You will publish in respected peer-reviewed journals and present in international conferences. We offer mentoring for your next career step. Our environment is experienced in helping you solve your two-body problem.  We offer a nice working place in a multicultural and dynamic academic environment. There are many research opportunities in academia and biotech in the lake Geneva area.

Your application: Email lab head Prof. Maria Cristina Gambetta ([email protected]): your CV, a brief description of your research experience, and how your research interests complement ours.
