Postdoctoral position in regulatory and evolutionary genomics in Tanya Vavouri's group at the Institute of Predictive and Personalized Medicine of Cancer (IMPPC), Badalona, Barcelona.

We are looking for a post-doctoral research fellow to work on a project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. In our new lab we are interested in chromatin organization, gene regulation, and genome evolution. We have recently analyzed genome-scale datasets to study the packaging of the human genome in the male germline, dosage-sensitivity, the stability of genetic redundancy between duplicated genes and the function
and evolution of highly conserved non-coding elements. The successful candidate will use available chromatin and functional genomic datasets to study the chromatin organization at regulatory regions in animal genomes. In addition, he/she will be encouraged to develop their own research ideas along the lines of the research interests of the group. For more information and informal enquiries contact: tvavouri at imppc.org

Vavouri et al Cell. 2009. 138:198-208.

The  research at the institute combines basic and applied research in cancer and epigenetics. The IMPPC offers excellent working conditions in attractive surroundings.

Requirements:
Applicants should hold a PhD in biological sciences, bioinformatics or a related field and have prior experience in programming and computational analyses of high throughput sequencing data. Applicants must have at least one first author publication. Creativity, a drive for basic research and good communication skills in English are
essential.

How to apply:
Please send your application to jobopenings at imppc.org or send it via the web. Send a copy to: tvavouri at imppc.org

Applications should include a cover letter describing your research interests, a CV and contact details of two referees.

PLEASE QUOTE THE REFERENCE CODE 11/C/08
