Doctoral Researcher (Research Associate) in Molecular Cell Biology | Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (Doktorand*in) (26010)

Job Summary

This Doctoral Researcher (Research Associate) position at the University of Wuppertal offers a unique opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Biochemistry, Epigenetics, Genetics, and Bioinformatics. Focusing on the organization and regulation of mRNA transcription in Ciliates, the role involves significant lab work and computational analysis within a DFG-funded project. Key responsibilities include applying modern Chromatin analysis techniques like ChIP-seq, MNase-seq, and Pro-seq, developing novel proximity-labeling based procedures for protein complex analysis, and contributing to structural analysis and phosphoproteomics. The successful candidate will be expected to co-author scientific publications, present findings at international conferences, and co-supervise students. Candidates must hold a Master's degree in Biology or Biochemistry, possess strong analytical skills, and demonstrate a keen interest in fundamental chromatin biology. This fixed-term, part-time (50%) role is specifically designed to support the completion of a doctoral degree, providing excellent supervision and exposure to the latest Omics methodologies in an internationally networked research environment.
