Postdoctoral scholarship in mammalian meiosis study
The Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Gothenburg, offers a postdoctoral scholarship in mammalian meiosis study. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division for producing haploid germ cells. Errors in meiosis lead to chromosomal aneuploidy, the leading cause of miscarriage. The postdoctoral fellow will study the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes.
Project
The postdoctoral fellow will study the chromosome dynamics in mammalian meiosis using the combination of cell biological and biochemical approaches using mouse as a model system. Analysis will include CRISPR/Cas9, Cre-loxP, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, RNAseq and biochemistry.
