Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuro Epigenetics

We are looking for a curious, creative, and driven Postdoctoral Researcher to join the research group of Mathieu Boulard at EMBL Rome to study gene regulation in neurons. We investigate how chromatin governs olfactory receptor gene choice, an epigenetic mechanism by which olfactory neurons express a single olfactory receptor gene while repressing hundreds of unselected paralogous genes. Our approach uses a combination of mouse genetics, molecular biology, flow cytometry, microscopy, epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling, and computational genomics. Among our latest achievements is the discovery of the first factor that enforces the monogenetic transcription of olfactory receptor genes ( Tabaro et al. ).…
