Wolfgang Wagner

Open postdoctoral position in Epigenetic Networks in Aging and Cancer within the project Transform-Me , supported by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Stiftung , at Universitätsklinikum Aachen AöR / RWTH Aachen context. The project investigates how epigenetic changes , especially DNA methylation , are coordinated across the genome and how these changes form coherent trans-regulatory networks. The research aims to identify modules and hubs that are co-regulated in aging , development , and particularly malignant transformation , and to explore modulation of these networks through epigenetic editing . The position is aimed at a bioinformatician with a strong background in epigenetic characterization of cell preparations, with a focus on DNA methylation. The work involves integration of own and public EPIC Illumina BeadChip datasets together with RNA-seq , ATAC-seq , ChIP-seq , nanopore , and single-cell DNA methylation sequencing datasets. Application deadline: August 30, 2026 (advertised position GB-P-56328). Applications must be submitted via the online portal and should include a motivation letter emphasizing interest in the project, a CV with publication list, contact details for two references, and copies of the most important certificates with grades, preferably combined into a single PDF. For questions, the post names Prof. Dr. Dr. Wolfgang Wagner as contact person.
