Type of Contract : FTC Scientist
Contract Period : 9 months
Expected date of employment : 14 June 2021
Proportion of work : Full time
Remuneration : Between 2800 € -3900 € gross monthly according to experience
Desired level of education : PhD
Experience required : 5 to 10 years
Missions
The objective of the project is to characterize the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of homochirality in vivo using the Drosophila model. The candidate will have to develop new tools for analyzing homochirality in vivo.
Activities
A 9-month Post-Doc scholarship is available in Stéphane NOSELLI's group at the Institut de Biologie Valrose (iBV) of the Université Côte d'Azur in Nice, FR (ibv.unice.fr/research-équipe/ noselli /).
The laboratory studies the origin and functions of biological chirality. Homochirality is one of the key principles of life. Our proteins are made up of homochiral monomers, exclusively L amino acids, while D amino acids are considered non-proteinogenic. This is crucial, because enzymes have stereoselective binding modes. Recent advances demonstrate that various conditions (especially stress) can lead to the spontaneous emergence of D-AA in our proteins and to the loss of the enantiopurity of the proteome. The objective of the project is to characterize the mechanisms involved in the maintenance of homochirality in vivo using the Drosophila model.
Applicants with a background in developmental biology, cell biology, and biochemistry are encouraged to apply. Interested candidates can contact Stéphane Noselli (noselli@unice.fr).
