Postdoc in Computational RNA biology and Metagenomics

We have an open position focussed on the development of novel computational approaches to study gene expression and RNA metabolism in complex bacterial samples. The candidate will focus on the multiomic integration of a wide variety of genomic data (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metadegradomics and phenotypic data). This will include the study of the crosstalk between translation regulation and mRNA decay in response to environmental and drug perturbations using novel tools that our laboratory has recently developed (Huch, Nersisyan et al. Nat microbiology 2023).

Deadline 24.Jun.2023

Metadegradome paper published in Nat Microbiology

Extremely happy to see our work our on metadegradomics published in Nature microbiology.
Kudos to Susanne and Lilit who spearheaded this work.

Postdoctoral studies in single-cell RNA biology

We have an open postdoctoral position in single-cell RNA biology. The available postdoctoral position concerns developing and applying novel genomic approaches to study RNA-protein interaction and subcellular localization at single-cell level. The candidate will focus on investigating how translation and mRNA stability are regulated, and how the disruption of those processes across cells alter cellular phenotypes in health and disease.

Deadline 27 May 2023

Transcriptional memory story published in Nat Comms.
