We seek for a highly competitive postdoctoral fellow to study skeletal muscle aging. We are looking for highly motivated and ambitious experimental biologists, with a strong background in epigenomics, to join our research team in the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) at the PRBB, in Barcelona.
We study the mechanisms underlying tissue regenerative decline with aging, and in particular the mechanisms controlling muscle aging (sarcopenia), with the aim of preventing or delaying sarcopenia through rejuvenating strategies. You will be employed on a three-years project, and your work will combine transcriptomics, epigenetics, bioinformatics and computational biology, with mouse genetics, to define the intricate regulatory circuitry of muscle aging and potential rejuvenating strategies
