Phd Position: Plant Epigenomics

vor 1 Monat


Munich, Deutschland Technische Universität München Vollzeit

Description: DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification with fundamental roles in gene regulation and transposable element silencing. In plants, aberrant DNA methylation changes (i.e. epimutations) can arise stochastically, similar to DNA sequence mutations. These epimutations are often transmitted across generations and accumulate in plant genomes over time. Our group is generally interested in understanding the role of epimutations in plant evolution and their potential in agricultural breeding. We tackle this question via a number of novel experimental systems coupled with next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics and computational approaches.

What are we looking for: We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic PhD student with a passion for understanding the molecular basis of inheritance in plants. We have a strong preference for bioinformaticians/computational biologists with a deep appreciation for biological phenomena or, alternatively, experimentalists with a solid background in bioinformatics/computational biology.
