Job Description
Missions
We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to generate new genetic tools in Drosophila to allow controlled protein depletion and the identification of protein-protein interactions within neurons in vivo. The tools to detect protein-protein interactions will include those that use luminescence rather than fluorescence.
Activity
The postdoctoral fellow will be using Drosophila as a model organism. They will be managing Drosophila stocks and setting up genetic crosses to generate new stocks and to perform experiments. They will perform dissections and mount samples for imaging on a high-end spinning disk microscope. They will perform literature research to direct the generation of new tools. They will perform molecular cloning. They will be required to manage and interpret the data they produce and disseminate their results in team meetings and at international conferences.
Your Profil
Skills
- Expérience spécifique en développement d'outils d'imagerie par luminescence indispensable.
- Doctorat dans un domaine pertinent.
- Connaissance du processus de publication : le/la candidat(e) doit avoir publié ou être sur le point de publier au moins un article de recherche en tant que premier auteur.
- Maîtrise de l'anglais indispensable : capacité à participer et à animer des réunions d'équipe en anglais.
- Solides connaissances en biologie cellulaire.
- Connaissance de la biologie neuronale, du domaine des microtubules ou expérience avec la drosophile.
- Bonnes aptitudes relationnelles.
- Bonnes aptitudes à la communication.
Your Work Environment
We study how cells control microtubule nucleation and organisation in order to generate specialised microtubule arrays, such as the mitotic spindle or the polarised microtubule networks within neurons. We focus on gamma-tubulin ring complexes (g-TuRCs), which template and stimulate new microtubule formation at microtubule organising centres (MTOCs), such as the centrosome or Golgi. The lab primarily uses Drosophila as an animal model system and we span scales, relating the molecular structure and composition of g-TuRCs to their recruitment and activation within cells. The IJM is situated in the heart of Paris and offers state-of-the-art facilities and a dynamic research environment. You will be under the direct supervision of Dr. Paul Conduit, who is a group leader at the IJM.
