Postdoctoral researcher in neurodevelopment

The Davy team is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study acquisition of cell identities in innovative mouse and human brain organoid models in the frame of the Cell-ID research program (https://www.pepr-cell-id.fr/) whose main goal is to deploy interceptive medicine in the field of pediatric brain cancer. The proposed project is part of the CELL EXP challenge and includes methodologies in the fields of tissue engineering, single cell transcriptomics, as well as advanced imaging. The position is funded for 3 years.

About our research:

Our main research goal is to characterize molecular mechanisms that control neurogenesis and gliogenesis during physiological or pathological mammalian brain development. We currently focus on a cell-cell communication pathway and on a particular metabolic pathway that has close links with epigenetics. Part of our research is dedicated to develop innovative in vivo and in vitro models and experimental approaches to address specific biological questions pertinent to the Cell-ID community.

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in single cell transcriptomics. Knowledge of developmental biology and an interest in neurodevelopment would be an added value.

About the CBI:

The Center for Integrative Biology (https://cbi-toulouse.fr/eng/) is a major basic science institute in France. Research at the CBI is multidisciplinary, from molecular, cellular and developmental biology to animal cognition and collective behavior. Toulouse is a lively city in the south of France.
