Job Description
Missions
The postdoctoral researcher will study, using cryo-electron microscopy, the mechanisms of host recognition and infection triggering in bacteriophages infecting Salmonella.
The project aims to characterize the structure of the 9NA virion before and after receptor interaction.
Activity
- Process existing single particle and tomography data using image analysis software (Relion, CryoSparc, EMAN2)
- Reconstruct and interpret 3D structures
- Deposit the data in the PDB and EMBD
- Write scientific articles and present results
Your Profil
Skills
- Expertise in cryo-electron microscopy
- Strong background in structural biology, biochemistry and virology

Your Work Environment
Located on the Grenoble European photon and Neutron site (EPN) (ESRF/ILL/EMBL/IBS), the Institute of Structural Biology (IBS) is a national and international player in the field of integrated structural biology. The IBS is a research center, a technical platform, a host site and a scientific training center. Its mission is to develop research in structural biology, a field of research that is crucial to the understanding of fundamental biological mechanisms. It is supported by 12 state-of-the-art platforms.
As a joint research unit (CEA-CNRS-UGA), the IBS is composed of 20 research groups, each of which proposes a multi-disciplinary approach, at the frontiers of biology, physics and chemistry, in coherence with 3 research axes. 320 people work there as researchers, PhD students, engineers and technicians in a multicultural and international environment.
The person recruited will join the MEM and M&P teams on bacteriophages (https://www.ibs.fr/en/research/assembly-dynamics-and-reactivity/methods-and-electron-microscopy-group-g-schoehn/ ; https://www.ibs.fr/en/research/membrane-proteins-and-glycobiology/membrane-and-pathogens-group-f-fieschi/structure-and-stability-of-integral-membrane-protein-and-phage-assemblies-team/).
Constraints and risks
None.
The research will be carried out in either French or English, however it is expected that the non-French speaking candidate will strive to learn the basics of French in order to facilitate communication and integration into the laboratory.
