The Tunicate embryology Research Team and the MRI core imaging facility in Montpellier, France, have an opening for a computer scientist in charge of the analysis of 3D + time fluorescence imaging data of living embryos of a class of marine invertebrates, the ascidians. The contract is for up to 4 years. The selected candidate[…]

Context: Cell-cell communication plays a central role in the coordination of morphogenesis and fate specification. Most components of the major signalling pathways have been identified. We however lack a quantitative understanding, in time and space, of the dynamics of signal transduction from the membrane to the nucleus. The CRBM Tunicate embryology Research Team uses molecular[…]

Applicants are sought for two 3-year doctoral contracts to work on developmental variability and canalization in Ascidians. Context: Within each animal species, embryonic development is highly reproducible, ensuring the production of a complex organism with precisely arranged and shaped organs and tissues. This constancy of embryogenesis against genetic polymorphism and fluctuating environmental conditions is[…]

The project: Single-cell approaches are revolutionizing developmental biology. We can now trace in time the behavior of each cell in a live developing organism (1). In parallel, single-cell transcriptomics and genomics gives access to the transcriptional state of each cell (2). Combination of these two approaches promises to unravel how genomic information translates into individual[…]

Applications are open for 3-year PhD fellowships in the Montpellier Health Science doctoral program (To apply visit http://www.adum.fr/as/ed/cbs2/page.pl?page=concoursed-gb before May 3rd 2016). Our group is proposing three possible independent PhD projects on the embryonic development of marine invertebrates closely related to vertebrates, the ascidians (Lemaire, 2011, Development 138, 2143–2152). Most ascidian species develop with almost[…]
