Job Details
Your position
Our research interest is to unravel the molecular mechanisms that control mammalian brain development and stem cell differentiation. The project is primarily to look at novel aspects of Notch signaling and its targets.
Your profile
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with experience in molecular biology and transgenic mouse models, and a solid background in either biochemistry and/or epigenetics and transcriptional regulation. Experience with chromatin immunoprecipitation, retroviral vectors, cell transplantation and primary cell cultures of mammalian neural stem cells would be an advantage.
We offer you
The lab has extensive experience with conditional genetics, lineage tracing and mouse models of brain development. We exploit a variety of state-of-the-art technologies, including mouse genetics, fluorescent-activated cell sorting, transcriptome analyses, and bioinformatics.
