Job Description
Main Purpose of the Job
The Postdoctoral Researcher will work on the mechanistic basis of how cis-determinants through DNA sequence polymorphism and local chromatin changes influence co-transcriptional regulation and epigenetic switches. They will exploit the well-characterized Arabidopsis FLC system and dissect how different mutations have independently evolved to change the rates of FLC silencing over winter.
