Strasbourg, France
Post-doctoral researcher in cancer epigenomics
Gronemeyer Team, Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology
(IGBMC), Illkirch (C.U. de Strasbourg), FRANCE
A post-doctoral position is open in the Gronemeyer laboratory at IGBMC to work in cancer
epigenomics using systems biology approaches. This project will involve the generation, analysis
and integration of genome-wide (epi)genomic data from cancer samples(ChIP-seq, exome-seq,
RNA-seq).
Qualification
We are searching for a highly motivated and career-oriented research fellow with a high level of
independence a PhD degree in molecular and cellular biology. Candidates must have a solid
experience in chromatin biology, systems biology and cancer research. Possessing programming
skills and experience in bioinformatics would be considered an advantage.
Place of employment and work
The Institut de Génétique et Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire (IGBMC) is an international
institute with a strong focus on biomedical research, offering an exceptional research and
cutting-edge platforms located in Illkirch, just outside the city of Strasbourg. Strasbourg is an
international and cosmopolitan city, located in the centre of Europe.
The Gronemeyer team
We are multi-national team interested in understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of signal
transduction, epigenetic (de)regulation and chromatin structure, which coordinate global gene
expression programs in normal and cancer cells. We develop technologies and global systems
biology approaches to identify comprehensive RNA profiles, transcription factor binding sites,
epigenomes and chromatin interactomes from ultra-small sample sizes, and use integrative
bioinformatics to identify functional gene “hubs” and decision points that dynamically coordinate
gene programming. Our studies involve a plethora of genome-wide technologies and the
corresponding development of bioinformatics tools.
Terms of salary and employment
A 12-month renewable contract will be established. A competitive salary commensurate with the
experience and qualifications will be offered to the successful candidate. Operating language in
the laboratory is English. Applications including a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names of
two referees should be sent by February 28th 2014 to: Dr. Irene Yujnovsky at
