Aerts lab</a><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; "> at the University of Leuven has a postdoc position for a highly motivated scientist to study cis-regulatory control and cis-regulatory variation. You will use and develop computational biology
approaches to map gene regulatory networks and to decipher enhancer logic underlying cellular differentiation. To this end, you will combine multiple layers of regulatory information, including spatiotemporal gene expression patterns (RNA-seq, Tag-seq), </span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px; ">genome-wide
TF localization data (ChIP-seq, damID-seq), and open chromatin profiling data (FAIRE-seq). Although this is mainly a computational position, depending on your interest you can also perform wet-lab experiments, fly genetics, and next-generation sequencing yourself,
together with colleagues in the lab. Finally, you can apply your systems biology approaches to study gene regulation in cancer, using a Drosophila cancer model in the eye, studying how mutations in transcription factors, but also mutations in the non-coding
genome can contribute to oncogenesis. </span></h2>
