Genome regulation and chromatin topology during embryonic development
There are frequently opportunities to join our team as a visiting scientist, MSc student, PhD student, or postdoctoral researcher.
The Furlong lab is a combination of both wet lab biologists and computational scientists, with many people that do both, which fosters a creative environment while promoting collaboration.
If you are interested in working in the field of genome regulation and developmental networks, and you are an experimental (wet lab) biologists who also enjoys bioinformatics or would like to learn in silico analyses or a computational biologist/bioinformatician interested in working close to the data, and being part of the experimental design, this could be your future. Topics include cell fate decisions, gene regulation, single cell analyses, chromatin topology and/or modelling.
To apply, please contact Eileen by email and attach your CV and a motivation letter describing your background and particular research interests,and why you would like to join our lab. We encourage candidates to develop their own ideas. In addition, the Furlong lab has many collaborations with other groups, and are in a great position to support applications to a number of cross-disciplinary programs.
EMBL has a fellowship program aiming to promote interdisciplinary research including the EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme: Exploring Life in Context (EIPOD LinC). In addition, the Furlong lab is a member of the EMBL | Stanford Life Science Alliance. Thus, we are in a great position to support applications to these innovative cross-disciplinary programs.
If you are interested in working on cutting-edge research projects in a friendly, collaborative and international team, please apply through the EMBL International PhD Programme.
