PhD and Postdoc Positions in Epigenetics in China

The Yoshihara Laboratory at The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for interdisciplinary projects in endocrinology, metabolism, stem cell biology, animal physiology, and genomics. The laboratory integrates stem cell-derived artificial human organs, cultured cells, genetically modified model mice, physiological analyses, and genomic approaches. Its research investigates ontogeny and metabolic homeostasis while addressi...

The University of Southern Denmark invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Mandrup Group within the Functional Genomics & Metabolism Research Unit, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, in Odense, Denmark. The project investigates the molecular mechanisms regulating human leptin (LEP) gene expression in adipocytes. The postdoctoral fellow will study the cis-regulatory elements, transcription factors, and signaling pathways that control LEP expression during adipocyte ...

Laboratory of Epigenetics and Chromatin Dynamics at Lund University’s Department of Experimental Medical Science is recruiting a PhD student to join a project on how epigenetic mechanisms regulate repetitive and transposable genetic elements in human brain development and disease. The research is led by Dr Christopher Douse and carried out in a group of 8 research-active members. The lab studies underexplored parts of the human genome often described as “genomic dark matter,” with a particular i...

The laboratory of Ulf Vang Ørom at Aarhus University is recruiting a 2-year postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics . The project explores how RNA contributes to the regulation of cellular pathways linked to metabolism , with a focus on the interplay between RNA, protein interactions, and epigenetics . The successful candidate will work with several experimental approaches, including high-throughput methods , and will investigate novel connections between RNA ...

The postdoctoral project is hosted by the Katajisto laboratory at Karolinska Institutet in Solna, Sweden. The lab studies how stem cell-intrinsic and stem cell-extrinsic mechanisms shape tissue renewal capacity and contribute to the functional decline associated with aging. This position centers on developing approaches and model systems to study cellular memory in tissue stem cells . The successful candidate will use these systems to identify the kinds of challenges that build cellular memories...

The Lin Laboratory at the University of Southern California investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer development, progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic response, with a strong focus on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and other upper aerodigestive cancers. This Research Associate role sits at the intersection of cancer genomics, epigenomics, organoid biology, tumor immunology, and translational cancer research. The successful candidate will work with patient-derived tu...

This postdoctoral project at the University of Southern Denmark focuses on how inflammatory history reshapes the intestinal epithelium and its surrounding niche, and how these changes influence mucosal healing in inflammatory bowel disease. The work sits at the interface of intestinal tissue regeneration, epithelial biology and mucosal immunology, with a translational emphasis on understanding why some healing responses are effective while others fail. The successful candidate will join the lab ...

The Laboratory of Elisa Oricchio at the Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), EPFL , is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join research on how cancer-associated genomic alterations shape tumor initiation, progression, and therapy response. The project centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor evolution by integrating genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. The lab studies how functional consequences of cancer-associated genomic alterations ...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is offering a PhD project in Placental Biology at the Biomedical Center Munich (BMC), Institute of Physiological Chemistry, in Planegg, Germany. The research investigates how a conserved chromatin regulatory network safeguards early development, with particular emphasis on the extra-embryonic lineage and its communication with the developing embryo. The project will examine how disruption of this network in the placenta can influence fetal brain development...
