We are looking for talented and motivated postdoctoral researchers to join the Biology of Infection Unit led by Marc Lecuit at the Institut Pasteur, in Paris, France. The laboratory develops cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of infection from both the microbe and host perspectives.
There are fundamental gaps in our knowledge of infection biology, especially for facultative intracellular pathogens. To fill these gaps, we conduct multidisciplinary and integrative approaches using Listeria monocytogenes as an advanced model pathogen. The Biology of Infection Unit has unique assets, combining humanized infection models, a large and unique collection of genetically characterized Listeria strains, state-ofthe-art technologies, and a unique cohort of listeriosis cases with patient and Listeria genomic data.
Applicants must have a PhD or MD degree. Applicants should have a strong background in either immunology, cell/tissue biology, microbiology, genomics, single cell analysis, bioinformatics, imaging, big data analysis. Candidates should be highly motivated and ambitious. Technical expertise in molecular biology and/or biochemistry is highly desirable. Applicants should be fluent in English.
