Post-Doctoral Position in Cell Plasticity: We are seeking a highly motivated and inventive candidate for a two-year post-doctoral position in the “Cell Plasticity and Reprogramming” team led by Antoine Zalc at the Institut Cochin, Paris. This position is funded by the ANR T-ERC and aims to uncover the transcriptional mechanisms that regulate the reemergence of pluripotency programs and cranial neural crest cell (CNCC) reprogramming during development.
Post-Doctoral Position in Cell Plasticity and Reprogramming
Designation:
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Research Area:
Cell Plasticity, Reprogramming, Cranial Neural Crest Cells (CNCC), Single-Cell Multi-Omics, Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation
Location:

Eligibility/Qualification:
Candidates must possess the following qualifications:
- A Ph.D. in a relevant field, with substantial knowledge of neural crest development and/or embryonic stem cell differentiation protocols.
- Experience in sequencing methods or data analysis is highly desirable.
- A strong interest in developmental biology, transcriptional regulation, and pluripotency programs.
Job Description:
The post-doctoral researcher will:
- Conduct studies combining single-cell multi-omics screens and functional in vitro assays to identify transcription factors and signaling pathways controlling CNCC reprogramming.
