Vacancy ID: PDS003794

Position Summary/Description:
The Heinzen laboratory in the Division of Pharmacotherapy and Experimental Therapeutics in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is looking to immediately fill multiple postdoctoral fellowship positions to study the genetic and genomic bases of epilepsy conditions with a particular focus on brain-tissue specific genetic variants mediating seizures. The successful candidate will be part of a highly interdisciplinary environment that seeks to identify and functionally characterize genetic variants in epilepsy in order to identify novel treatment approaches in epilepsy.
The successful candidate will optimize and implement cutting-edge genomic analyses, including but not limited to long-read sequencing, whole genome sequencing, single cell sequencing, and chromatin conformation capture techniques, to detect somatic and germline genetic variants mutations brain tissue specimens r...
