Postdoctoral Researcher in Gene Regulation

vor 4 Wochen


Lausanne, Schweiz Université de Lausanne Vollzeit

**Introduction**:
UNIL is a leading international teaching and research institution, with over 5,000 employees and 17,000 students split between its Dorigny campus, CHUV and Epalinges. As an employer, UNIL encourages excellence, individual recognition and responsibility.

**Presentation**:
To complement the research activities in the group of Prof. Maria Cristina Gambetta at the Center for Integrative Genomics (CIG) of the University of Lausanne, we are seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on projects relating to gene regulation and genome architecture.

**Job information**:
Expected start date in position : 01.05.2023 or to be agreed

Contract length : 1 year, renewable, max 5 years

100% (a minimum of 80% of the activity rate for research, a maximum of 20% of the activity rate for institutional and teaching tasks)

Workplace : University of Lausanne, Dorigny

**Your qualifications**:
Dynamic and rigorous scientist with a PhD degree in Biology or a related discipline. You have experience in genomics, molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry or imaging. Critical thinker. Team player eager to participate in scientific discussions, but also able to work independently. Interest in developing your skills in multidisciplinary experimental strategies to understand basic mechanisms in gene regulation.

**Project description**:
The advertised project addresses the fundamental question of how regulatory elements are guided to their target genes. You will study a paradigm we uncovered in which genes are controlled by regulatory elements located at flexible and surprising large genomic distances. This model is powerful and unique.

You will use genetics (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).

**Your responsibilities**:
As a postdoctoral researcher you will work independently on a project on the molecular basis of gene regulation specificity. Specifically, you will study a paradigm we uncovered to understand how regulatory elements are correctly wired in 3-dimensions to their target genes. You will use multidisciplinary genomics, genetics, imaging, or biochemistry approaches in the fruit fly _Drosophila melanogaster_. You will present your results during joint group meetings together with other gene regulation research labs, and at seminars. You will get some exposure to teaching and will supervise a Master student.

**What the position offers you**:
**Contact for further information**:

- a cover letter detailing your research experience
- a brief statement of why you believe your research interests overlap those of the host lab
- a CV
- a copy of your PhD certificate
- contact details for 2 or more referees

Deadline : March 21st 2023
