Postdoctoral position infocused on the transcriptional control of the cell cycle and its role in chromosomal instability and in tumorigenesis

A position for a postdoctoral scientist is available in the group of Prof. Stefan Gaubatz at the Biocenter, University of Wuerzburg/ Germany. Research in our group is focused on the transcriptional control of the cell cycle and its role in chromosomal instability and in tumorigenesis.

The goal of the project is to identify mediators of chromosomal instability in tumor cells using a combination of cell culture based experiments and molecular biology techniques. State-of-the-art technologies including Chromatin-immunoprecipitations (ChIP), RNA interference, and cre-lox based models will be used.

The candidate is expected to have considerable expertise in molecular biology and/or biochemistry. Prior experience in molecular tumor biology or mouse genetics will be advantagous.

Active participation in teaching biochemistry to medical students is expected.
Please send your CV, a summary of past experiences and names and e-mail addresses of at least two references by e-mail to: stefan.gaubatz@biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de
