Frederiksberg C

The Copenhagen Plant Science Centre at The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences has a vacant postdoc position in Epigenetics. Starting date is 1 September 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Description of the scientific environment
The Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences constitutes a stimulating and international research environment. The current position is financially supported by a European Research Council (ERC) grant to Associate Professor Sebastian Marquardt. The position will be located at Copenhagen Plant Science Centre (CPSC) with state-of-the-art research facilities. The aim of CPSC is to create a cross-disciplinary scientific environment that links plant scientists and advanced research from bench to application.

Project description
We are looking for an exceptionally motivated postdoc to elucidate the effects of epigenetic signaling during long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcription on “genomic punctuation”. The project operates at the interface between the research areas of: epigenetics, RNA biology, RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription and genomics. You will be based in the laboratory of Sebastian Marquardt, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

You will dissect the molecular mechanism of epigenetic signaling associated with RNAPII transcription elongation in Arabidopsis. A focus will be proteomic analyses of DNA loci undergoing repressive transcription. This will involve sequence specific purification of DNA from cells using TALp and CRISPR/dCas9. We are looking for a new team member enthusiastic about molecular genetic, biochemical and genomic approaches to characterize key players involved. We expect to uncover chromatin-based effects on RNAPII elongation, likely linked to gene regulation by overlapping lncRNA transcription. These hypotheses will be tested through targeted functional approaches at selective loci. The postdoc project involves design, execution and analysis of proteomics, transcriptomics and epigenomics data. Expertise and enthusiasm to analyze resulting data characterize candidates that match the profile for this position.
