The Avgousti lab is looking for motivated and enthusiastic scientists at all levels interested in developing independent research ideas combining chromatin biology and molecular virology. Postdoctoral candidates should have a record of productive research (at least one first-author publication), with knowledge and experience in biochemistry or molecular biology. Virology experience is not required but would be valued. Interested candidates should send an email to Dr. Daphne Avgousti that includes a CV and contact information for three references.
