  • PhD opportunity (Bioinformatics, Neuroscience, Epigenetics)

    The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and the University of Freiburg, Germany offers a PhD position in the group of Thomas Manke. The position is available for a three-year appointment.

    Your tasks:
    You will be part of a newly established research training group (MeInBio), which aims at a dual education in bioinformatics and wet laboratory methods to explore the spatiotemporal dynamics of gene regulation using high-throughput and high-resolution methods. This specific project aims at understanding the genome organization during neuronal differentiation at high resolution. To this end, detailed molecular maps of histone modifications, chromatin states and chromatin conformation in 3D will be generated, analyzed and interpreted.

    Your qualifications:
    PhD applicants should hold a MSc/Diploma in life sciences, ideally with a strong computational component. MSc in Bioinformatics or Informatics will be considered, if they can demonstrate practical expertise with molecular biology techniques. We are looking for highly motivated candidates who are showing strong interest in interdisciplinary research and the desire to work at the interface of epigenetics, neuroscience and bioinformatics. We also expect fluency in both written and spoken English.

    We offer:
    - Dual education in computational and molecular biology
    - State-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure (e.g. deep-sequencing, imaging, bioinformatics)
    - International, multidisciplinary environment
    - Regular courses in bioinformatics, laboratory techniques and soft skills
    - Great location at the heart of the Black Forest and in close vicinity to France and Switzerland
    Salary will be based on the MPG Support of Junior Scientists guidelines.

    Application deadline:
    Have we sparked your interest? Please submit your complete application, including a statement of research interests, a CV and contact details for at least two referees via our online application portal at www.ie-freiburg.mpg.de until November 24th, 2017.

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
