Available Positions

A postdoc position is available for candidates interested in signaling and transcriptional control in trypanosomes, the parasite that causes Sleeping sickness in Africa. The candidate will study how the expression of trypanosomes' immune evasion genes is controlled during antigenic variation. The project includes genome 3D organization (Hi-C), generation of mutant cell lines, DNA/RNA sequencing, ChIP-seq, protein interaction analysis (mass spectrometry), and single-cell sequencing to unravel the role of key regulators involved in genome organization and the expression of genes essential for pathogen evasion of host antibody responses.
