Are you excited about the regulatory potential of transposable elements? Do you want to understand how ncRNAs travel through the cell? Does the phrase “seeing is believing” resonate with you? If so, look no further. The Jachowicz lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team. The project focuses on understanding the dynamics of ncRNAs using high-resolution and single-molecule microscopy approaches.
About the Jachowicz lab
We are an international team of highly motivated researchers studying the regulation and function of transposons and repeats - often referred to as the "dark elements" of the mammalian genome. Our goal is to understand how these elements influence gene expression and 3D genome organization during early lineage specification. We use molecular biology and genomics approaches, applying them to embryonic stem cells and mouse embryos. Our group is part of IMBA at the Vienna BioCenter, one of the most vibrant and innovative life science campuses in Europe.
Requirements:
* Strong interest in gene regulation, transposons, ncRNAs, and early development
* Experience working with mammalian cell culture systems
* Solid laboratory expertise in microscopy and standard molecular biology techniques
* Excellent communication skills, scientific rigor, ability to work collaboratively, and willingness to mentor junior team members
About IMBA
