Post-doctoral fellowships.
Chromatin structure and regulation of expression of the CFTR gene.
Human Molecular Genetics Program
Childrens Memorial Research Center (CMRC)&Northwestern University, Chicago, IL.

Applications are invited for 2 post-doctoral positions to investigate the chromatin structure and regulation of expression of the CFTR gene, which when mutated causes Cystic Fibrosis. This NHLBI-funded project will build on our recent work characterizing tissue-specific regulatory elements in the CFTR gene (Blackledge et al. 2009 Nucleic Acids Research – Advance access Jan 12th); (Ott et al. 2009. Journal of Cell and Molecular Medicine – Accepted article on line). Successful applicants will have strong motivation, excellent graduate training and a good publication record. Expertise in the analysis of DNA:protein interactions in vitro and in vivo is essential and familiarity with methods to study chromatin and/or transcription factors would be an advantage. We are part of a vibrant and interactive academic community and occupy excellent, well-equipped new laboratory space.
