Two postdoc positions in functional analysis of human diseases using fish models
Posted by Julien Bobe, on 19 August 2026
Job type:
Location: Rennes, France
Closing Date: 20 September 2026
The INRAE Fish Physiology and Genomics Institute and the Rennes University Hospital are hiring 2 postdocs in functional genomics.
The research projects will use the model fish species medaka (Oryzias latipes) to disentangle:
- the role of novel genes in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)
- the maternal regulation of behavior by neurodevelopmental disorder genes
To answer these questions, we will combine CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and single-cell transcriptomics.
Previous experience in transcriptomics, bioinformatics and molecular biology is required. Interest in reproductive biology and comparative genomics would be appreciated.
