Post-doc position at Roslin Institute14/07/2020
A post-doctoral position in comparative functional genomics of fishes is now available at Roslin Technologies. The position is funded by the AQUA-FAANG project.
Job Purpose: • Generate and analyse ChIP-Seq and ATAC-Seq data in two salmonid fish species. • Identify evolutionarily conserved and divergent functional elements in six teleost fish genomes using ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and RNA-Seq datasets Main responsibilities include generating ChIP-Seq and ATAC-Seq libraries using existing samples, bioinformatic analysis using ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and RNA-Seq datasets and identifying conserved and divergent functional elements in six teleost fish genomes using ChIP-Seq, ATAC-Seq, and RNA-Seq data. The deadline for application is 12 August 2020. For more information please visit here. "My Job in Research" Challenge by REA07/07/2020
