Postdoctoral Fellowship - Mammalian Epigenomics, Chromatin Structure and Function, Cancer in New York City , New York at Albert Einstein College of Medicine

A postdoctoral position is available at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the laboratory of Dr. Arthur Skoultchi, Judith and Burton P. Resnick Chair.

The goal is to understand the roles of H1 linker histones in chromatin structure and function, gene regulation and cancer. We have prepared a unique series of knock-out mice and ES cell lines lacking specific H1 histones. Our studies have revealed roles for H1 histones in gene regulation, the epigenetic landscape, nuclear organization and blood cancers:

Seeking an accomplished individual with a strong background in cell and molecular biology. Experience working with mouse embryonic stem cells is a plus. However, in the selection of candidates we will emphasize overall scientific abilities and potential rather than specific experience or technical expertise. Candidates must have a Ph.D. degree or equivalent and possess strong independent research abilities with ambitious scientific interests, self-motivation and the ability to work effectively with a team. Successful candidates will be offered a salary exceeding NIH guidelines ($65,000-$75,000 depending on experience) and generous benefits, including College-subsidized postdoctoral housing in a pleasant residential neighborhood near the medical school. To apply, please send a CV with a brief description of research experience and career goals, plus contact information for three references to:
