Postdoctoral Position – Developmental Biology and Biophysics

We are seeking outstanding and highly motivated postdoctoral candidates to join an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Gros lab (“Imaging and Regulation of
Morphogenesis in Higher Vertebrates” lab) at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France, and the Campas lab (“Morphogenesis and Self-Organization of Living Matter” lab) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. This specific position would be based at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, with occasional stays at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

The overall aims of this collaborative project are to (1) quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of physical forces in developing mouse limb buds using novel force transducers developed recently by the Campas lab and, (2) elucidate their role in maintaining skeletal progenitor differentiation/maintenance balance. For more information about projects and the labs please visit:
www.jgroslab.com ,
https://research.pasteur.fr/en/team/morphogenesis-regulation-in-higher-vertebrates/
and http://www.engineering.ucsb.edu/~campas/.

The position is a 3-year postdoctoral position funded by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP), available December 1st, although the starting date is flexible. Candidates should have expertise in developmental and/or cellular biology, be willing to extend their knowledge to quantitative biophysics approaches and collaborate with biophysicists and engineers. Experience in live imaging, mouse development, biophysics and/or quantitative biology will be positively considered.

The Pasteur Institute, located in the vibrant city of Paris, has a longstanding history of excellence in developmental biology and in science in general, with access to excellent core facilities.

Applicants should send a cover letter (describing briefly research interests), a C.V and contact information for up to 3 academic references to jgros@pasteur.fr and
campas@engineering.ucsb.edu.
