Job Description
Missions
We are looking for a highly-motivated Post-doctoral Research Scientist to join the laboratory of “Photobiologie et Physiologie des Plastes et des Microalgues - P3M” directed by Dr. Angela Falciatore at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique in Paris – France (http://www.ibpc.fr/UMR7141). The post-doctoral fellow will be involved in a project aiming to characterize the molecular regulators orchestrating circadian rhythms in marine diatoms. The project is built on the recent discovery of the bHLH-PAS protein RITMO1 as the first regulator of circadian rhythms in P. tricornutum and of different photoreceptors (the Phytochrome DPH and Cryptochromes), possibly involved in circadian regulation. These proteins will be used as entry point to characterize the still unknown circadian clock system of diatoms, by integrating genome-wide molecular approaches with in-vivo analyses of light-dependent rhythmic processes.
Activity
The planned research will also integrate other project aiming to address the physiological and ecological relevance of circadian clock in diatoms by characterizing rhythmic cell division and photosynthesis in wild-type and mutants and by analyzing circadian clock and photoreceptors in environmental metagenomic data sets.
Your Profil
Skills
A PhD and demonstrable experience in functional genomics and molecular biology techniques.
Previous experience in microorganisms' physiology and/or photobiology (photoperception or circadian clock regulation) will be strongly appreciated.
The level of his(her) CV and publication list will have to be compatible with the requirements of national and international post-doctoral programs.
Your Work Environment
The laboratory is dedicated to the study of light-driven processes (photosynthesis, photoperception and light-dependent rhythms) and chloroplast biology. The laboratory addresses key questions on the biology, evolution and ecology of microalgae by focusing on different molecular model systems (e.g., Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum) and on ecological relevant phytoplanktonic species, investigated with approaches of eco-physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, genomics and genetics.
Full-time. The postdoctoral fellow will have access to all of the laboratory's resources
