Doctoral Researcher in Molecular Biology | Biologe (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This doctoral position at the Institute for Molecular Biology and Tumor Research in Marburg offers a unique opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of chromatin proteins and their role in mammalian genome regulation. The successful candidate will join Dr. Jacqueline Mermoud's lab, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of SMARCAD1, a chromatin remodeler linked to developmental disorders and increased cancer risk. The project aims to uncover how SMARCAD1 contributes to the inheritance of DNA methylation, a crucial process for maintaining cellular identity. Day-to-day tasks will involve experimental design, execution, and analysis using advanced molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and genomics techniques. This role is ideal for a highly motivated individual passionate about fundamental research, offering excellent scientific development opportunities within a collaborative and well-equipped research environment.
