Description
Organisation/Company: CNRS
Research Field: Biological sciences › Biological engineering
Chemistry › Biochemistry Physics › Biophysics
Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)
Application Deadline: 18/08/2022 23:59 - Europe/Brussels
Location: France › PARIS 13
Type Of Contract: Temporary
Job Status: Full-time
Hours Per Week: 35
Offer Starting Date: 01/10/2022
The successful candidate will be expected to :
- participate in the design of the project,
- use and develop new methodologies,
- carry out the experiments,
- analyse and communicate the results,
- write reports and research papers.
The candidate will use a wide range of approaches, including microfluidics for
the manipulation of fluorescent actin filaments.
A post-doctoral position (12 months renewable) is open in the team
"Regulation of actin assembly dynamics" at the Institut Jacques Monod
(UMR7592 CNRS/Université Paris Cité, Paris, France -
https: // www. ijm.fr/858/equipes/regulation-assemblage-actine.htm) to work on a
project on the impact of a protein that binds specifically to actin filaments
and modifies their biochemical and mechanical properties. This project is part
of the team's general interest in understanding how actin regulatory proteins
allow the construction of actin networks with varied architectures and
dynamics.
The team is developing quantitative in vitro approaches, combining
fluorescence microscopy, microfluidics, optical tweezers and micropatterning.
L'Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), installé dans un bâtiment de 8000 mètres
carrés, situé sur le nouveau campus du projet urbain Paris rive gauche, est
l'un des principaux centres de recherche fondamentale en biologie à Paris, et
offre un environnement de recherche multidisciplinaire. L'IJM regroupe une
trentaine de groupes de recherche travaillant sur la biologie cellulaire et du
développement, la biophysique et la génomique. Le chercheur postdoctoral
bénéficiera d'un environnement scientifique extrêmement stimulant, et aura
accès à des équipements de pointe (notamment la plateforme de microscopie
photonique, électronique et cytométrie en flux), situés à l'IJM.
Eligibility criteria
The candidate must hold a PhD in biology or soft matter physics with a strong
interest in biology/biochemistry. The candidate must be able to work
independently in a collaborative project with teams outside the institute,
interact with team members, have the ability to lead a project, and have a
good level of scientific English (French is not mandatory).
