Operational skills : - Implement biology techniques, including a good knowledge of flow cytometry and cell culture. - Animal experimentation (animal handling, sampling and general knowledge of regulations). - Ability to organize daily work independently. - Report on activities. - Use IT tools for data analysis, formatting and recording. - Be motivated, dynamic, rigorous and conscientious in his/her work. - Work as part of a team and contribute to the life of the laboratory.
Contexte de travail
The Institut de Génétique Moléculaire de Montpellier (IGMM) is a joint research unit of the CNRS and the University of Montpellier, with a staff of 220 divided into 16 research groups. The IGMM is a multidisciplinary institute whose work has an international impact in both fundamental and applied molecular and cellular biology (www.igmm.cnrs.fr). The campus provides access to state-of-the-art scientific and technological facilities, particularly in genomics, imaging and flow cytometry.
The candidate will be assigned to the "Hematopoiesis and Immunotherapy" team codirected by V. Zimmermann and N. Taylor, but will also work closely with the Clinical Hematology Department directed by G. Cartron at Montpellier University Hospital.
Contraintes et risques
- Collaborative work carried out both in the IGMM research laboratory and in the clinical hematology department of Montpellier University Hospital.
- Work on human primary T cells (carried out in L2 laboratory, requiring PPE -overshoes, gowns, gloves- and the handling of human cells implies the need to take biological risk into account).
- Work on live animals (carried out in an animal facility, requiring PPE -overshoes, gowns, gloves, mask).
- Variability
