Offer Description
Position is available for a highly motivated PhD student who wish to join the Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics headed by Prof. François Fuks (ULB-Free University of Brussels, Belgium).
You are expected to conduct cancer research in epigenetics and epigenomics. Specifically, you will investigate the mechanisms and functions of novel epigenetic modifications, which our lab is investigating (e.g. Delatte et al., Science 2016, Jeschke et al. Nat Cancer 2021). Genetic, biochemical, biological and genome-wide as well as transcriptome-wide approaches (e.g. RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, Infinium Methylation) will be applied. The lab runs a Next-Gen Sequencing platform, and is part of the ULB-Cancer Research Center (U-CRC), providing a high profile scientific environment. Starting date is flexible.
