3. Postdoctoral Positions in Chromatin Biology
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
In addition to DNA sequence, chemical modifications of histones and DNA provide an important regulatory layer for gene expression control. In this context, individual and combinatorial modifications guide spatiotemporal recruitment of regulatory factors to specific regions in the genome through attraction or repulsion. Despite many efforts, the underlying principles that determine how chromatin marks influence protein-genome interactions remain unclear and require further investigation. We aim to cover this gap by a) dissecting how interactions between transcriptional regulators and the genome are specified, and b) how these interactions impact chromatin and transcription during biological processes.
Application Deadline: 24 October 2022
4. Postdoctoral Positions in Automated Optogenetic Control of Cellular Dynamics
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
You will be part of the research group of Lukas Kapitein external link at Utrecht University. In this Postdoc position you will develop event-driven imaging and high-precision control strategies to enable real-time manipulation of key aspects of cell and developmental biology (smart microscopy). Ultimately, the goal is to establish microscopy-guided automated real-time control of biological processes. This will enable automatic identification of certain cellular states or events (e.g. a cell in mitosis, a cell moving out of a niche) within a tissue followed by the automatic and iterative light-driven perturbations that can alter the cellular state or event (e.g. altering the orientation of the mitotic spindle, directing cells to specific locations). You will collaborate with different research groups within the IMAGINE! project.

5. Postdoctoral Positions in Optogenetic control of cell division and cell fate in C. elegans
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
In this post-doctoral research position in the group of Sander van den Heuvel external link at Utrecht University, you will develop methods for laser-light mediated control of the orientation of cell division in the animal model C. elegans. In follow up studies, you will determine how the division orientation affects the fate and division pattern of daughter cells, based in part on super-resolution microscopy. You will work together with the groups within the IMAGINE! project who also work on these systems and contribute to similar analyses in vivo (In particular the Kapitein Lab external link of Utrecht University). The overall goal is to acquire automated real-time (optogenetic) control strategies to steer processes within native cells in their tissue environment, as an important strategy for dissecting the molecular mechanisms and underlying principles of animal development.

10. Postdoctoral Positions in Stable and Clumped Methane isotope measurements
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
Methane is emitted from different sources to the atmosphere and carries a distinct isotopic composition, characteristic for the respective source process. This composition can be used to quantify the relative contributions of methane from different source categories in the atmosphere, and methane isotope measurements are becoming a standard tool for source partitioning. Yet, these measurements are challenging and datasets from different laboratories are not always compatible, which can significantly affect the scientific interpretation. This is part of the European Research project “Metrology for European Emissions Verification on Methane Isotopes external link” (ISOMET). This project is designed to harmonize atmospheric isotope measurements across Europe, including the conventional stable isotopic composition as well as the novel clumped isotope signatures.
