Short description of the group/project/topic of research
The Flury lab aims at understanding how diverse chromatin states are maintained and regulated across cell division. In particular, we strive to dissect the spatiotemporal kinetics of chromatin restoration after intrinsic (DNA replication or transcription) or extrinsic (developmental or stress signaling) challenges. To do that, we employ functional genomics and proteomics in combination with rapid perturbation approaches to track how chromatin composition and function are maintained and to dissect the role of epigenetic memory in chromatin state homeostasis and alterations.
Additional information
We are looking for a motivated team player with strong communication skills and the desire to work in a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive environment. Applicants should have an academic degree in life science plus a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Bioinformatics or a related area in Biology. Candidates should have a good publication record, very good knowledge in English language and a deep interest in technology establishment. Expertise in NGS data set analysis (using R, Python, Command line) and/or Live cell imaging is considered a plus.
