Postdoc in Cancer Epigenetics
Odense
FULL TIME
October 1, 2024
The position is available - initially for six months - from January 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter - with the possibility of extension for three years.
The postdoc will lead research on gene regulatory mechanisms underlying cancer metastasis and drug resistance and will support Professor Tiwari in smooth running of the laboratory at various levels. The group employs cutting-edge molecular biology, epigenetics and genomics tools in combination with computational biology approaches to generate comprehensive models of gene regulation during carcinogenesis.
