The Spatial Transcriptome Regulation and LncRNA Function lab is seeking highly motivated, innovative and team-oriented researchers in computational RNA biology. We use molecular, biochemical and computational approaches to study the biological functions and molecular mechanisms of spatio-temporal transcriptome regulations in health and disease. This includes CRISPR-based genome editing techniques, single-molecule RNA imaging, RNA-protein interaction analyses and high-throughput approaches. For more information, please visit our lab website gdumboviclab.org.
We provide a highly stimulating, collaborative and international working environment with state-of-the-art infrastructures, and unique professional career development opportunities. Our team is looking for applicants with experience in computational biology. The University advocates equal rights for women and men and therefore strongly encourages women to apply. People with disabilities are given priority if they have the same qualifications.
