Job Description The laboratory of Dr. Wonho Kim at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow. Our lab investigates the molecular mechanisms by which the genome is organized in three‑dimensional space and how this spatial organization influences nuclear functions such as gene transcription, DNA replication, and DNA damage response. To address these questions, we combine diverse approaches including genomics (Hi‑C, ChIP‑seq), DNA‑FISH, biochemical assays, and genetic screening.
