3-year Post-doctoral fellowship in Development & Epigenetics : Clermont-Ferrand, France

We are inviting applications for a post-doctoral scientist to join the Waltzer team in the “Genetic Development and Reproduction” (GReD) research unit in Clermont-Ferrand (France).

Our group investigates how blood cell development is controlled during normal and pathological situations. Using mainly Drosophila as a model system, we aim at deciphering the gene regulatory networks that regulate blood cell progenitor maintenance and differentiation. We are particularly interested in the transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of blood cell fate (1,2) and in the development of fly models for leukemia (3).

Following the recent relocation of our team to the GReD in Clermont-Ferrand, we are now seeking to recruit a talented and motivated post-doc to expand our work into the epigenetic and epitranscriptomic fields. The proposed project will focus on characterizing the molecular mechanism of action of a conserved enzyme involved in hematopoiesis and leukemia, using a combination of genetic, molecular and biochemical approaches in Drosophila.

Qualifications & skills

The candidate must hold a PhD in Life Sciences, in the field of molecular biology, developmental biology and/or genetics. Candidates with previous experience with fly handling, NGS analysis and/or proteomics are particularly encouraged to apply.

Fellowship

The position is immediately available and is funded for three years. Salary scale for the post is in the range from 35.000 and 46.000
