The applicant is expected to play a leading role in experimental design, experimentation, analysis, and presentation/publication of research results. The research work includes standard molecular biological techniques, next generation applications for genome-wide analysis, and mouse phenotyping. The postdoctor is expected to be part of the group and to develop in accordance with the common group goals and research interests.
