Postdoctoral Fellowships are immediately available in the Jothi Lab at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study transcriptional and epigenetic control of cell fate decisions.

The Jothi Lab use embryonic stem cell (ESC) and its differentiated derivatives as a model system to understand how transcription regulators and chromatin modifications regulate gene expression programs during cellular development and differentiation. For additional information, please visit the group’s website.

Successful candidates will undertake several exciting new projects in the general areas of chromatin biology, epigenetics, and transcription. They will employ a combination of molecular biology, biochemistry, and functional genomics (ChIP-Seq, RNA-Seq, etc.) to elucidate mechanisms of gene regulation.

Candidates must have obtained a Ph.D. degree in biological sciences or a related discipline within the last 5 years, with a strong background in molecular biology and/or protein biochemistry. Excellent communications skills and the ability to work on a variety of projects are essential.

Please email the following to Raja Jothi, Ph.D., Senior Investigator, Epigenetics & Stem Cell Biology (jothi@niehs.nih.gov ):

• Curriculum vitae
• One-page statement of research interests
