Vacant PhD fellowship in epigenetics and gene regulation
The Choudhary Group at the University of Copenhagen is offering a three-year PhD fellowship with an initial one-year temporary position as research assistant.
The position is available from 1 July 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Our group works in the broad area of proteomics, genomics, epigenetics, and cell signaling. In this project, we are interested in understanding epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, with special focus to understand the mechanisms of gene activation by cis-regulatory enhancers. The project will use quantitative proteomics and genomics to further understand the role of epigenetic regulators in gene regulation.
The candidate will perform experimental laboratory work, including generation of CRISPR-edited cell models, mass spectrometry-based analysis of protein interaction networks, and generation of next-generation sequencing data by ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, Nascent-seq, and ATAC-seq. The candidate with experience in both wet lab and bioinformatics will be able to do both (i.e. work in the wet lab and perform bioinformatics analyses). If you would like to know more about the project(s), please contact us!
The deadline for applications: 10 April 2026, 23.59pm CET.
