A 17-month Marie Curie Fellowship for an Early Stage Researcher under the DisChrom Marie Curie ITN (www.dischrom.eu) is available in the lab of John Strouboulis. The project aims to characterize in mouse Embryonic Stem Cells the protein interacting partners and genomic targets of mutants of the mouse DNMT3B DNA methyltransferase associated with the human ICF (Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability Facial Anomalies) syndrome. Applicants must have proven knowledge of basic cell culture and molecular biology techniques. The successful candidate will be trained in gene targeting in ES cells, biochemistry and genomics. Applications and requests for further information are by e-mail to Dr. John Strouboulis (
