Postdoctoral Position in INEM: A two-year postdoctoral position is available for a highly motivated Ph.D. to work on the role of autophagy in kidney epithelial cell homeostasis. The research will focus on understanding how autophagy integrates fluid shear stress in kidney epithelial cells, with a multidisciplinary approach including biochemical, cellular, microfluidic methods, in vivo animal models (mouse and zebrafish), and human tissue samples in collaboration with Necker Hospital.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Autophagy, Cell Biology, and Renal Physiology
Location: Paris, France
Eligibility/Qualification: Candidates with a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology or physiology obtained during the past four years and with experience in the fields of autophagy, cell signaling, kidney physiology, and zebrafish models (not mandatory) are encouraged to apply.
