Stockholm University, Sweden, invites applications for one postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Associate Professor Mattias Mannervik at the Wenner-Gren Institute, Division of Developmental Biology (http://www.wgi.su.se). The position is scheduled to start as soon as possible.
Transcriptional coregulators are proteins that facilitate communication between transcription factors and the basal transcription apparatus, in part by affecting chromatin through post-translational modification of histones. As such, they contribute to generation of cell-type specific gene regulatory networks and epigenetic control of animal development (see Science, 284, 606-609). This laboratory is using molecular, genetic, and transgenic approaches in Drosophila melanogaster to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of coregulator function during development. Recent publications: Haecker et al. (2007) PLoS Biology, 5, 1298-1308.
Qi et al. (2008) EMBO J, 27, 898-909.
Qualifications: The position is available immediately and requires a recent Ph.D. as well as extensive experience in molecular biology techniques. The successful applicant should have a graduate studies record of innovative scientific accomplishment demonstrated by a distinguished publication record, and motivation to study underlying mechanisms of gene regulation in development.
Location: Stockholm University is one of the largest and most prominent universities in Sweden, located in the nation’s capital city, beautifully surrounded by the first national city park in the world.
Salary: Commensurate with qualifications and experience based on the Stockholm University Employment Conditions
Applicants should send statement of interest, curriculum vitae, bibliography as well as names, e-mail adresses, and phone numbers of three references directly to Mattias Mannervik:
