Schneider lab is looking for a postdoc!

The Institute of Functional Epigenetics (IFE) focuses on understanding the epigenetic mechanisms whereby cells and organisms integrate metabolic signals, establish cellular memory, and regulate plasticity. We leverage this knowledge to identify new epigenetic pathways for drug discovery. We use cutting-edge methods (multi-omics, single cell, live cell imaging, modelling, biochemistry as well as various developmental, stem cell and cell biology systems) to predict, observe, and manipulate epigenetic processes. https://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/ife

The Schneider group is recruiting a PostDoc to work on the interphase between chromatin biochemistry, epigenetics, RNA biology and epitranscriptomics.The applicant should have experience in the epigenetics and/or chromatin field, a good publication record and be motivated to shape her/his own project. The successful candidate will address a central question in epigenetics: how do epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression programs in single cells and how can they be used to increase adaptation upon environmental stimuli, particularly in stem cells but also during cellular differentiation.

The applicant will implement a combination of approaches, including different “omics” approaches and the development of novel single cell technologies. He/she will benefit from a vibrant scientific environment as well as the strong epigenetics, chromatin and AI communities on campus and in the Munich area.
