Duties: The Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI), based in Basel, Switzerland, is a world class biomedical research institute with a twofold mission - understanding the fundamental mechanisms of health and disease, and training early career scientists. The institute has an international staff of about 330 people, from over 40 countries, and 19 research groups whose main areas of focus are Neurobiology, Genome Regulation and Multicellular Systems. Named after Friedrich Miescher, the Basel biochemist who discovered nucleic acids, the FMI is affiliated with the University of Basel and Novartis Biomedical Research

Duties: Two main projects are currently available. The first one focuses on studying the chromatin mechanisms underlying the reprogramming and regeneration potential and plasticity of adult human and mouse neural crest-derived nasal cartilage. The second project studies the transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of the response to spontaneous activity during the development of neurons of the highly topographic whisker-to-barrel somatosensory circuit in the mouse
Requirements: You have a Doctorate Degree in developmental neurobiology, developmental neuroepigenetics, stem cell and/or developmental biology, or related fields; You have strong interest in gene and chromatin regulation with a significant track record; You are passionate about developmental neurobiology and want to contribute to cutting-edge research; You are skilled in bulk and/or single-cell approaches for chromatin and transcriptional profiling and have experience with mouse and/or cell culture work
