Missions

Applications are invited for a research assistant position in the laboratory of Dr. Sophie Polo (https://epigenetics.u-paris.fr/polo-group/) at the Epigenetics and Cell Fate Centre in Paris (originally for 1 year, renewable). Our research work combines cutting-edge imaging technologies with proteomics and next-generation sequencing to decipher how genome and epigenome maintenance are coordinated in mammalian cells challenged by genotoxic stress.

Activités

The proposed research work aims at dissecting the mechanisms for histone modification and DNA methylation maintenance at sites of UV damage repair in mammalian cells using a combination of imaging, proteomics and sequencing approaches.

Compétences

We invite applications from highly self-motivated individuals with a strong interest in chromatin organization and/or the DNA damage response.
Candidates holding a master's degree in related fields are encouraged to apply.
Interested candidates should provide a CV, a brief description of their research interests and contacts details for two referees.

Contexte de travail

The successful applicant will join a dynamic research group within a network of six teams working on epigenetics and cell differentiation at the Epigenetics and Cell Fate Centre. This highly vibrant research center is attached to the University Paris Cité, an international and multidisciplinary research environment in central Paris, and offers access to state-of-the-art facilities.
