POSTDOCTORAL OPPORTUNITY: APOSTD Candidate
How does genome architecture shape expression of long genes and neuronal identity?
We are looking for an outstanding and highly motivated candidate to apply for an APOSTD postdoctoral Fellowship (Generalitat Valenciana) and join a collaborative project co-led by Dr. Ethel Queralt and Dr. Nuria Flames at the Institute of Biomedicine of Valencia (IBV-CSIC).
RESEARCH PROJECT
The successful candidate will investigate how chromatin architecture influences the expression and processing of long genes, with a particular focus on the interplay between 3D genome organization, chromatin dynamics, transcription of long genes, co-transcriptional RNA splicing, and gene regulatory mechanisms that shape neuronal cell identity and neurodevelopmental disorders.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR CANDIDATES WITH
- Phd in life sciences, bioinformatics or a related field
- Strong publication record relative to career stage
- Experience in chromatin biology, gene regulation, RNA splicing, neurodevelopment or bioinformatics
- Excellent communication skills and motivation to work in an interdisciplinary environment
Eligibility criteria: Applicants must have obtained their PhD degree after 1 January 2022 and must not have completed their PhD at an institution in the Valencian Community.
WHAT WE OFFER
- A stimulating and collaborative research environment at IBV-CSIC
- Joint supervision by laboratories with complementary expertise in chromatin biology and development
- State-of-the-art facilities
- Support for the preparation of a competitive APOSTD fellowship application.
