Copenhagen Plant Science Centre (CPSC) at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen wishes to appoint a highly motivated postdoc in the field of Non-Coding Transcription commencing 1 February 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter. The period of employment is 2 years with the possibility of extension.

CPSC is new initiative to establish a modern research environment that offers unique training opportunities in one of the most attractive cities in the world.

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 non-coding transcription (1)
- Functional consequences of non-coding transcription (2, 3)
- Transcription kinetics in environmental interactions (4)

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 non-coding transcription. For example, we disrupt non-coding transcription in Arabidopsis to identify roles of non-coding transcription in plant environmental responses.
