Group Leader Position in Computational Epigenomics
Applications are invited for a group leader position in the Division of Cancer Epigenomics ( www.dkfz.de/en/CanEpi/ ) headed by Prof. Dr. Christoph Plass, an internationally renowned expert in cancer epigenomics with more than 30 years of expertise in the field. The group will lead research on Computational Epigenomics, based on large data sets characterizing transcription, nucleosome positioning, 3D chromatin architecture, DNA methylation, histone modifications and from single-cell and spatial technologies, and will support Professor Plass in the smooth running of the laboratory at various levels. Research in the Division of Cancer Epigenomics employs cutting-edge epigenetics and molecular biology tools in combination with genomics and computational biology approaches to develop comprehensive concepts for epigenome-wide misregulation of gene expression during the development of cancer and therapy resistance and its involvement in DNA repair defects.
