Missions
Research Engineer position (M/F) to work on the mechanisms of damaged DNA replication, mutagenesis, and lesion tolerance in the yeast model Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Activities
-construction of yeast strains
-construction of plasmid substrates containing a single lesion
-genetic experiments
-Development of techniques for mapping single-stranded DNA gaps
-writing articles
-possibility of teaching (Master's degree)
Skills
-PhD in molecular biology (with or without postdoctoral experience)
-Experience in DNA replication and repair.
-Experience with Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (not essential, but recommended)
Work Context
The “DNA Damage and Genome Instability” team, led by Dr. Vincent Pagès, is part of the “Genome Integrity” department within the CRCM. The team's goal is to understand the mechanisms of damaged DNA replication as well as the genetics of DNA damage tolerance pathways.
We use a technique that allows us to introduce a single lesion into the genome of a living cell (bacteria or yeast).
The candidate will work on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast model.
