Job Description
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.
Activity
The proposed research work aims at targeting the DNA repair defect that we identified in histone H3 mutant pediatric high-grade glioma (Giacomini et al., Nucleic Acids Res 2024), as part of a collaborative project with the teams of David Castel, Beatrice Rondinelli (Institut Gustave Roussy, Villejuif), Cynthia Hawkins (Sick Children Hospital, Toronto) and Françoise Ochsenbein (I2BC, Saclay).
Your Profil
Skills
We invite applications from highly self-motivated individuals with a strong interest in epigenetic mechanisms, cancer and/or the DNA damage response.
