A 3 year postdoctoral position is available at the MRC Clinical Sciences Centre to work in the Gene Regulation and Chromatin Group headed by Professor Niall Dillon. The group studies genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of transcriptional regulation during differentiation from the embryonic stem cell through to terminally differentiated cell types.
The project will investigate the role of epigenetic modifications and regulators in cell differentiation and the interactions between these modifications and lineage-specific transcription factors. Understanding how signaling pathways interact with epigenetic regulators will also be an important goal of the research.
