Postdoctoral Position - Epigenetics of Development - NICHD Division of Developmental Biology (DDB), Bethesda, Maryland

A fully funded postdoctoral position is available to study epigenetics of development using zebrafish as well as cavefish, mouse, and cell culture models in the laboratory of Dr. Brant Weinstein in the NICHD Division of Developmental Biology (DDB) in Bethesda, Maryland.  The Weinstein laboratory uses a variety of cutting-edge molecular, cellular, genetic, transgenic, microscopic imaging, and next-gen sequencing approaches to study the role of epigenetics during development.  In addition to other related studies, the laboratory is currently carrying out the first-ever genetic screen for vertebrate tissue specific epigenetic regulatory genes using a novel “EpiTag” transgenic epigenetic reporter line.  The scientific environment, resources, and stipend support for this position are superb.  Learn more about research in the Weinstein lab.
