The Martienssen laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor has an opening for a postdoctoral fellow to study the mechanisms of epigenetic inheritance in fission yeast and mammalian cells, recently funded by the National Institutes of Health. RNA interference impacts inheritance and genome stability by silencing of repeats, as well as by non-canonical means, and successful applicants will explore the role of epigenetic modifications, phase separation and transcription-replication conflict in different developmental and cell cycle contexts. State-of-the art equipment and facilities are available both within the lab and in outstanding shared facilities.
