Post-Doctoral Researcher In Biochemistry/Biophysics Of The Cytoskeleton (H/F)
Universities and Institutes of France
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 criteriaThe 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).
