Research Technician in Molecular Biology (Wien)

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Technician to join the Kubicek laboratory at CeMM, the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna. This is an opportunity to work on cutting edge research projects at the interface of cell biology, epigenetics and chemical biology.

The Project:
In this position you will work closely with postdocs in the lab to systematically explore the epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms governing cancer cell proliferation, with the aim of identifying and characterising synthetic lethal therapeutic targets. This project is based on our recent publications of novel pathways phenocopying BRD4 inhibition (Sdelci et al. Nat. Chem. Biol. 2016) and of synthetic lethality in prostate cancer cells (Licciardello et al. Nat. Chem. Biol. 2017).
We use a variety of techniques of functional analysis and detailed molecular characterization of chromatin pathways in cancer, including proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, as well as chemical and genetic screening.

Your Profile:
You will have a degree in either biology or chemistry (MTA, CTA, B.Sc., M.Sc., Mag., DI) and previous experience with molecular, cellular or chemical biology, biochemistry and epigenetics. Expertise in genome editing, small molecule probe development, metabolomics, functional screening or bioinformatics is considered a plus. The working language at CeMM is English, and excellent written and oral communication skills as well as high accuracy, reliability and excellent interpersonal and organizational skills are a requirement.
