Postdoctoral fellow—Gene transcription

The Huang Lab at National Jewish health is seeking a talented, highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to study super-enhancers in hyper-transcription of cytokine and chemokine genes in inflammation and infection. Our lab uses Next Generation Sequencing  (Nat Commun, 2021, 10.1038/s41467-020-20766-0) to identify potential super-enhancers in response to inflammation and infection, use high throughput enhancer barcoded reporters to assess enhancer activity, and uses 4 color sgRNA guides to delete desired enhancers in cell lines, primary cells and mice to determine the function of the enhancers. Candidates should have a recent Ph.D. degree or expect a Ph.D. degree in 2022 in molecular immunology or molecular biology. Experience with molecular cloning, RNA and DNA isolation, RT-qPCR,  and cell culture is required. Experience with CRISPR, ChIP, and western blot, and Next Generation Sequencing is highly desired. Compensation will be determined according to NIH postdoctoral stipends.
