POSITION DESCRIPTION Applications are sought for a full-time Assistant Project Scientist position. The successful candidate will work as part of an interdisciplinary research team in the laboratory of Dr. Kathrin Plath’s Lab in the UCLA Department of Biological Chemistry. The focus of the Plath Lab is on understanding the gene regulatory mechanisms underlying cellular plasticity, reprgramming and differentiation to open the door to manipulate cell identity and gene expression states and to understand disease processes. Within this context, the Plath lab is studying six fundamental problems: (i) How do long-noncoding (lnc) RNAs build nuclear compartments and regulate chromatin changes during differentiation and reprogramming? This aspect of our work particularly centers on understanding how the X chromosome dosage compensation is regulated by the lncRNA Xist in mouse and human. (ii) Which mechanisms govern reprogramming to induced pluripotency as a means to understand...
