2
PhD-fellowships
to study the functional consequences of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)
transcription in the Marquardt labat the
CPSC. Copenhagen Plant Science Centre (CPSC) at the Department of Plant
and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is
seeking a candidate for a 3-year PhD-scholarship commencing 1st November 2015
or as soon as possible thereafter.
PhD-fellowship
#1:
Divergent lncRNA
Transcription
PhD-fellowship
#2: Functional
Characterization of Plant lncRNA
The
position is funded
by a Hallas-Møller
Investigator Award to Sebastian Marquardt. CPSC is new initiative to promoteexcellent
training opportunities in a modern research environment in the heart of
Copenhagen. Project description The Marquardt lab is interested in
understanding the functional significance of abundant yet mysterious non-coding
sequences present in genomes.
Our
lab focuses on three research areas related to this question:
–
Divergent lncRNA
Transcription
–
Functional Consequences of Non-Coding Transcription
– Transcription
Kinetics in Environmental Interactions
Our
lab employs cutting edge budding yeast technology to identify the molecular
mechanisms controlling transcription of non-coding sequences. The knowledge of
non-coding transcription mechanisms helps us to study the functional roles of
noncoding transcription. For example, we disrupt non-coding transcription in
Arabidopsis to identify roles of non-coding transcription in plant
environmental responses.

seeking two candidates
enthusiastic about this research area, ideally with relevant research
background.
