The CRG is composed by an interdisciplinary, motivated and creative scientific team which is supported both by a flexible and efficient administration and by high-end and innovative technologies.We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the evolution of chromatin states and regulators across eukaryotes.
The successful candidate will combine chromatin proteomics, epigenetic drug treatments, and genetic perturbation of candidate chromatin readers-effectors in diverse species.
We welcome enthusiastic applicants with a broad interest in evolutionary biology, gene regulation, and/or chromatin biology, and with a solid background in functional genomics.The work will be part of our ERC-funded project CELL-SYSTEMATICS, which aims at understanding how animal cell type diversity originated and evolve.
The candidate will be part of a highly interdisciplinary team that includes developmental, computational, evolutionary and molecular biologists.ReferencesNavarrete, C. et al.
