Job Description:
Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Innate Immunity and Cellular Metabolism
The postdoctoral research fellowship focuses on investigating the innate immune functions of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and mitochondrial metabolism in macrophages. The project encompasses various experimental techniques, including mouse models of bacterial infection and functional characterization of primary mouse and human cells. Approaches will involve standard immunological, cellular biology, and bioinformatics techniques, as well as metabolomics and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) approaches.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should send an application including a statement of interest, curriculum vitae, and the names of two mentors for reference to johan.qaraude@insermfr.
Last Date for Apply: Application deadline not specified. Anticipated starting date: November-December 2023.
