Postdoctoral Position in Epigenomics
The Division of Allergy and Immunology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow. The Barski laboratory is focused on elucidating the mechanisms of epigenetic regulation involved in immune activation, tolerance and memory. The goal of the research is to understand how the epigenome shapes the immune response and whether it is possible to modulate immune response by targeting epigenetic mechanisms. The laboratory is utilizing and developing cutting edge wet-lab and computational methods based on the next-generation sequencing. Please see: Barski et al. Cell, 2007; Barski et al. Genome Research, 2009; Cuddapah et al. Curr. Op. Imm, , 2010.

The Division is a high-energy, dynamic, and interactive environment that is interested in recruiting self-motivated individuals with the drive to succeed and the desire to be competitive at the international level. Candidates with a strong background in molecular biology, epigenetics, bioinformatics and genomics are encouraged to apply. In particular, experience with methods such as foot-printing, chromatin and transcription assays, DNA methylation, ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq and NGS data analysis will be advantageous. An established track record (as evidenced by publications in peer-reviewed journals) is a significant plus.

Salary is competitive with an attractive benefits package that includes family health insurance, etc. For consideration, please send CV and contact information for three references to:
