focused on understanding the plant circadian clockand its functional connection with chromatinremodelling. The PhD position is part of the CHIP‐ETnetwork (ITN) which includes five academic and onenetwork (ITN), which includes five academic and oneindustrial partner.

The aim of the network is to provide aninterdisciplinary training platform with emphasis oninterdisciplinary training platform with emphasis oncutting edge epigenetics technologies and know‐howin chromatin research. Training will be achievedthrough research projects, secondments between

A variety of protein complexes assist RNAPII transcription in achromatin context. There are factors that promote transcription byATP‐dependent nucleosome remodelling (e.g. Swi/Snf, Chd1), histonechaperones (e.g. FACT, NRP1/2) or factors that covalently modifyhistones in the chromatin of transcribed genes (Hub1, HATs, HMTs).
