Job Description:
Post-doctoral position on transposable elements, genome organization and genome instability
The successful candidate will work in the lab of Emmanuelle Fabre and Pascale Lesage on the project “Genome Biology: From Mobile DNA to Chromosome Dynamics”. The project aims to understand how the activity of transposable elements and their position in nuclear space drive aging and cancer. The candidate will use state-of-the-art sequencing and live microscopy approaches with molecular biology techniques, using budding yeast as an experimental system. The candidate will benefit from a dynamic scientific environment and from the interface with clinical research at St. Louis Hospital, one of the leading centers for leukemia research.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit a CV, names and contact information for three references, and a cover letter summarizing current and future research interests to emmanuelle-g.fabre@inserm.fr and pascale.lesage@inserm.fr.
Last Date for Apply: Open until filled, but the position is available from June 2023.
