Fixed-term Postdoc in Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry M/F

The postdoc will have to:
- implement experimental approaches already established in the lab as well as propose and apply innovative strategies in collaboration with the team members.
- present work progress and obtained results in the frame of lab/consortium meeting as well as upon national/international scientific conferences.
- contribute to the writing of scientific articles and grants.
- follow-up regularly the scientific literature.
- contribute to the formation and supervision of students in the lab.

The selected candidate will participate to a research project which aims at characterizing and understanding the role of long non-coding RNAs in the control of sexual differentiation in fission yeast.
He/She will be involved in the conception and implementation of experimental strategies as well as in data analysis to determine the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which different long non-coding RNAs regulate the expression of the meiotic program during gametogenesis.

The I2BC is a very large CNRS, CEA, Université Paris-Saclay research unit located on the CNRS campus of Gif-sur-Yvette. The unit gathers about sixty research teams distributed within 5 scientific departments (Genome Biology, Biophysics/Biochemistry and Structural Biology, Cell Biology, Microbiology, Virology) and has a workforce of about 650 people.
The position is assigned to the team "RNA-binding proteins in gene expression and cell differentiation" that belongs to the Genome Biology Department. The team research focuses on the role of RNA-binding proteins and their protein and RNA partners in the control of meiotic gene expression and the regulation of gametogenesis in fission yeast.
In this frame, the selected candidate will combine genomic and proteomic approaches with mechanistic studies based on molecular/biochemical techniques and will have access to various leading-edge facilities (high-throughput sequencing, mass spectrometry, cell imaging).
Established collaborations with teams expert in protein/RNA imaging and structural biology will also offer a highly dynamic and stimulating environment.
The project is funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR).
