Post-Doctoral Position in Cell Plasticity and Reprogramming, Paris, France

Postdoc in France

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:
Institut Cochin (U1016 / UMR8104), Bitiment Faculte, 5° étage, 24 rue du Faubourg Saint Jacques, 75014 Paris, France

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.
  • Determine the levels and timing of Oct4 reexpression necessary for CNCC reprogramming using established in vitro differentiation protocols.
  • Work within a multidisciplinary biomedical research center that offers state-of-the-art facilities, technical support, and conceptual expertise to support the successful completion of the project.

How to Apply:
