  • Designing transgenesis constructs and help with their molecular cloning and helping to generate transgenic fly strains
  • Performing immunostains on different Drosophila tissues and confocal imaging of the samples to analyse transcription factor expression patterns
  • Performing genome-wide transcription factor binding site analysis using CUT&RUN sequencing
  • Populating and maintaining a database with imaging and binding profile data
  • Assisting with the preparation of manuscripts for publication and presenting data at conferences.
As Postdoctoral Researcher in Functional Genomics you should have:
  • PhD in Genetics, Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or equivalent
  • Experience with general molecular biology methods, especially molecular cloning
  • Experience with the preparation of scientific publications
  • Good knowledge of Drosophila biology, eukaryotic gene regulation, CRISPR-mediated transgenesis
  • Experience in functional genomics techniques such as ChIP-seq and/or CUT&RUN sequencing and the analysis of functional genomics data
  • Experience in immunostaining and confocal microscopy.
