POSTDOCTORAL POSITION STUDYING SENESCENCE IN DEVELOPMENT AND REGENERATION

1. Post Description

A position for a Postdoctoral Fellow is available in the Department of Development and Stem Cells, in the lab of Bill Keyes, IGBMC, Strasbourg, France (www.igbmc.fr/keyes). Previously, the group discovered roles for cellular senescence during embryonic development, and instructing cell plasticity and stemness in tissue regeneration and cancer. We are seeking a postdoctoral candidate to continue and develop these projects. As such, preference will be given to candidates with a proven record in developmental biology or with animal models of regeneration. These projects will involve the use of tissue culture and animal models coupled with high-throughput genomic analysis and molecular biology approaches.

For further information on the project and the work from the lab in general, see recent publications: Keyes et al, Cell Stem Cell, 2011, 8(2) 164-176; Doles et al, Genes & Development, 2012, 26(19): 2144-53; Storer et al, Cell, 2013, 155(5), 1119–1130; Ritschka et al, Genes & Development, 2017, 31(2):172-183

2. Candidate requirements

• Ph.D or M.D./Ph.D. (already obtained or soon-to-be), with at least one first author publication.
• Highly motivated person with strong interest in science research.
• Interactive person, with ability to work independently.
• Good communication skills, and fluency in English is required.
• Previous experience in developmental biology will be heavily favored. Experience in molecular biology is desirable.

3. Work Environment

The candidate will join an international group of scientists, working on highly competitive topics. The candidate will benefit from access to a modern well-equipped laboratory, as well as access to the IGBMC’s renowned Core Facilities and support.

4. Conditions
