Postdoctoral Position in Cell Biology: We are offering a two-year postdoctoral position for a motivated Ph.D. candidate to investigate the role of autophagy in kidney epithelial cell homeostasis. Our research focuses on understanding how autophagy integrates fluid shear stress in kidney epithelial cells. This project involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining biochemical, cellular, and microfluidic techniques, as well as in vivo studies using mouse and zebrafish models and human tissue samples in collaboration with Necker Hospital. If you have a Ph.D. in molecular and cellular biology or physiology obtained within the past four years and experience in autophagy, cell signaling, kidney physiology, or zebrafish models (not mandatory but encouraged), we invite you to apply. The position will commence on January 1st, 2024, with a salary in accordance with INSERM guidelines.
