Visiting Scientist – Lab-Gardini

A Visiting Scientist position in epigenomics/transcriptomics is available in the Gardini Lab at The Wistar Institute. The current research areas of the lab include: 1) understanding how epigenetic regulators coordinate cell fate commitment at developmental enhancers (Mol Cell, 2018, Sci Adv, 2021); 2) characterizing how mammalian RNAPII is regulated at proximal promoters (Cell Reports 2018 and 2020, Cell 2021). We employ functional genomics, biochemistry and proteomics approaches in a variety of cell systems, ranging from primary myeloid cells to human iPSCs. Detailed research topics and publications can be found at https://wistar.org/our-scientists/alessandro-gardini.  

Candidates should have obtained a PhD degree in biomedical sciences, or be in the final stages of completing their PhD program. We are looking for motivated individuals, highly independent and inclined to teamwork. Previous experience in biochemistry or genomics is appreciated but not strictly required.

In addition to the online application, please submit a curriculum vitae and contact details of two references to agardini@wistar.org.
