Odense M
A 2½-year postdoc position for studying the epigenetic mechanisms that control breast cancer progression is available in the group of Rasmus Siersbæk at the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. The position is available from 1 December 2022 or soon thereafter. Application deadline is 1 November 2022.
Research Project
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer affecting women. Transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms are important for driving later stages of the disease, where disseminated cancer cells form secondary tumours in distant organs in the process of metastasis. You will lead a project that aims to understand the epigenetic mechanisms that control breast cancer growth, treatment response and metastasis to identify potential new avenues for treating this disease. You will apply a range of omics technologies, including single-cell transcriptomics in combination with pooled CRISPR screens, to functionally investigate the role of key epigenetic regulators in controlling different stages of breast cancer progression and treatment responses. The goal is to identify potential new epigenetic treatment opportunities and validate these in pre-clinical models.
Lab and Research Environment
You will be part of a dynamic, supportive, and ambitious research group consisting of both postdocs, PhD students, and undergraduate students. Our group applies advanced functional genomics and proteomics approaches, including single-cell methodologies, to understand how transcriptional mechanisms shape cell function in the context of cancer. We are positioned in the Functional Genomics and Metabolism Research Unit at Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark. Our unit currently hosts seven independent research groups with a strong focus on chromatin and transcriptional mechanisms in health and disease. It is an innovative, collaborative, and international research environment with a strong scientific and social network for students and postdocs. As part of the unit, you will have access to world-class facilities for next generation sequencing, single-cell technologies, flow cytometry, animal work, mass spectrometry, and bioimaging.
Your Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated, innovative, and collaborative postdoc to lead this project together with undergraduate students. You have:
Expertise in functional genomics technologies and relevant computational skills are considered advantageous.
