Research in the laboratory focuses on understanding how structural variants, repetitive DNA, and other forms of genetic variation contribute to phenotypic variation through their effects on gene regulation, genome function, and organismal traits. The selected candidate will lead independent research projects that may integrate molecular biology, genetics, functional genomics, population genomics, pangenomics, genome engineering, computational biology, and bioinformatics. The balance of experimental and computational research will be tailored to the individual's expertise, interests, and career goals. Candidates with backgrounds in either experimental or computational biology are encouraged to apply.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
