Our lab focuses on investigating the 3D-chromatin structure in plants, as well as its biological meaning in terms of transcriptional regulation in response to developmental cues and environmental changes. From a genome structure point of view, by combining high throughput sequencing, computing and modern molecular biology approaches, much of our work has been focused on integrative genome-wide analysis on the interplay among chromatin folding, transcriptome, and epigenetic marks. Nowadays we are able to study chromatin structure at an unprecedented resolution, and our recently findings in Arabidopsis thaliana chromatin packing have revealed many unique properties. We welcome talented and motivated people to further explore this emerging field with us.

You are expected to handle and integrate large-scale genomics data that we newly generated, thus experience with UNIX, R, Python or Perl is essential. Having experience on ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, BS-seq, Hi-C, ChIA-PET or polymer modeling is an advantage.

To apply, you should have a Master or equivalent degree in Biology or Bioinformatics (or related areas). Please send your application materials including a detailed curriculum vitae, a motivation letter, and contact details of at least two referees to:
