The IBDM invites applications for group leader positions. We seek researchers who define and address fundamental questions in biology, including the development, the function, and the dynamics of complex biological systems. Research activities at the IBDM synergistically connect developmental biology with molecular, cell, and computational biology, as well as evolution, biophysics, neurobiology, physiology, and physiopathology.

A PhD position is available starting in September/October 2022 at the Developmental Biology Institute of Marseille (IBDM), France, in the group of Vincent Bertrand. The position is funded for 3 years. A large diversity of cell types is generated during embryonic development. This process has to be very robust to both internal variability and external perturbations for the correct number of cell types to be produced. Cell fate specification heavily relies on transcriptional regulation and for development to occur correctly, the expression of genes has to be tightly controlled both temporally and spatially, a process called transcriptional precision. However, the molecular interactions at the basis of […]
