Project description

The laboratory of Docent Deniz M. Özata Karlsson seeks an ambitious, talented, and creative postdoctoral trainee with strong expertise in computational biology and male germ cell biology. Ozata lab studies to understand how male germ cells develop into sperm at molecular and cellular level. Specifically, Ozata lab studies the evolutionary function of pachytene piRNAs and the regulatory mechanisms underlying timely expression of genes during sperm development.

Main responsibilities

• Analyses of high-throughput sequencing data; particularly, single-cell multiomics, ATAC-seq, CUT&RUN, PRO-seq and RNA-seq
• Wet lab experimentations; particularly in high-throughput library preparations
• Mouse experimentations.

Qualification requirements

Researchers are appointed primarily for purposes of research and must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.

Assessment criteria
