Postdoc position in Muscle Stem: The Philippos Mourikis Group at the MECPRES University is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join their team to investigate the regeneration potential of skeletal muscle through satellite cells. The project aims to study the interactions with the niche and the transition of quiescent satellite cells to proliferation and back to quiescence during muscle regeneration.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Muscle Stem Cell Research
Location: MECPRES University, France
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD in Biological Sciences or related field
- Experience or strong motivation to learn molecular biology, mouse genetics, and imaging
- Proficient in Crispr/Cas9 gene targeting techniques
Job Description: The postdoctoral researcher will work in the Philippos Mourikis Group to investigate the regeneration potential of skeletal muscle through satellite cells. They will use specialised methods to isolate quiescent and activated cells and investigate quiescence and activation-specific factors in cell culture systems and in vivo, using Crispr/Cas9 gene targeting techniques. The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting experiments, analyzing data, preparing manuscripts, and presenting results at scientific meetings. The position is for a two-year contract.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should send one PDF file to philippos.mourikis@inserm.fr containing the following:
- CV including publications
- Contact details of 2-3 referees
- Cover letter describing their background and interest in the research
Last Date for Apply: Until position filled
