Postdoctoral Position in Mechanobiology: The MEBRAMICS lab at Institut Necker Enfants Malades (INEM) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the impact of shear stress on plasma membrane homeostasis in kidney epithelial cells. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of mechanobiology and kidney physiopathology, with a focus on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in shear stress-dependent dysfunction.
Postdoctoral Position in Mechanobiology and Plasma Membrane Dynamics in Kidney Physiopathology – Morel Lab
Designation:
Postdoctoral Researcher
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Mechanobiology, Plasma Membrane Dynamics, Kidney Pathophysiology |
| Location | Institut Necker Enfants Malades (INEM), Necker Campus, Paris, France |
| Eligibility/Qualification | PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology (obtained within the last 4 years) with experience in membrane trafficking, secretion, and/or zebrafish models. Strong communication skills in English are essential. |
| Job Duration | 2 years (starting early 2025) |
Job Description:
The postdoctoral researcher will focus on the mechanisms by which mammalian cells integrate fluid shear stress intensity, particularly in kidney proximal cells. Recent findings indicate that autophagy is dysregulated by increased shear stress, simulating conditions in chronic kidney disease. This project aims to elucidate the molecular processes influencing plasma membrane homeostasis under these conditions, contributing to a deeper understanding of kidney epithelial cell responses to mechanical stimuli.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should send the following materials to Aurore Claude-Taupin at aurore.claude-taupin@inserm.fr:
- A concise cover letter with a statement of research interest and summary of previous research activity
- A detailed curriculum vitae (CV)
- Two reference letters
Last Date to Apply:
Until position filled
This job opportunity presents an exciting chance for qualified candidates to advance their research careers while making significant contributions to the field of kidney physiopathology.
