Missions
A 2-year post-doctoral position (with possibility of extension) is available in the Plant Reproduction and Development (RDP) laboratory, located on the campus of ENS Lyon, France. The successful candidate will join the SIGNAL team under the supervision of Dr. Yoan Coudert.
Activités
Research topic : The recruited postdoc will investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying the pre-patterning and development at a single-cell level in the moss Physcomitrium patens. The project will combine cutting-edge approaches in developmental genetics, live imaging, and single-cell genomics.
Compétences
Required qualifications and skills : We are seeking highly motivated and creative candidates with demonstrated problem-solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and a strong capacity to engage in interdisciplinary scientific discussions (with biologists, biophysicists, computer scientists, etc.). Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree and hands-on experience in cell/tissue culture and molecular biology. Prior experience with moss-related techniques, live confocal imaging, or single-cell RNA-seq is a plus. The working language of both the laboratory and the team is English. Excellent written and oral communication skills are essential. While not required, some knowledge of French can be helpful for everyday life outside the institute.
Contexte de travail
Research environment : The RDP laboratory is a world-leading research center on plant development and quantitative biology. The laboratory offers a highly stimulating, international, and interdisciplinary environment, with expertise spanning molecular genetics, genomics, cell biology to biophysics, mathematics and computational modeling. The laboratory is housed at ENS de Lyon, a top-ranking French university, situated in the vibrant and culturally rich city of Lyon.
