The Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB) is a Centre of Excellence for Life Sciences, funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation invites applications for the postdoc position in Mass Spectrometry of Epigenetic.
About The Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB)
The Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB) is located within the campus of the Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany.
Postdoc – Mass Spectrometry of Epigenetic DNA/RNA Modifications
The ERC-funded laboratory of Christof Niehrs studies regulatory DNA and RNA modifications, which play important roles in development & disease.
It utilizes highly sensitive mass spectrometry (Triple Quadrupole Mass Spec) and stable isotope metabolic labelling to profile epigenetic and epitranscriptomic changes, including 5mC, 5hmC, 5fC, 5caC, m6A, and others.
The successful candidate will study nucleic acid modifying enzymes to unravel how chemical modifications in DNA, RNA and R-loops regulate pluripotency and differentiation of mammalian embryonic stem cells and embryos.
Qualification
• PhD & publications in a relevant field
• Experience in mass spectrometry and RNA/DNA biochemistry
• Excellent communication skills and good team spirit
• Ability to solve problems independently
• Fluent in English (spoken and written)
How to Apply
To apply please send a SINGLE PDF file containing your cover letter stating research and career interests, CV, scans of your degrees (Germans: including copies of Abitur- & Master degree), and contact details of 2 references to [email protected]. Informal enquires can be addressed to Prof. Christof Niehrs ([email protected]).
