Description
Post-doctoral position available in the department of Neurobiology andGenetics at IGBMC-Strasbourg to study “The molecular and cellularmechanisms underlying several neuromuscular disorders”
Our group has identified several proteins mutated in differentneuromuscular disorders including centronuclear/myotubular myopathiesand Charcot-Marie-Tooth peripheral neuropathies. The postdoctoralcandidate will contribute to characterize the cellular roles ofmyotubularins, amphiphysin and dynamin on phosphoinositides, membranetrafficking and organelle positioning, using C. elegans as an animal model
Candidates must be highly motivated and have a PhD in molecular orcellular biology. Candidates should have a strong background in cellbiology. French speaking is not a requirement.
The IGBMC is one of the leading European centres of biomedical researchlocated in Strasbourg’s science park, the Parc d’Innovation, Illkirch.We have excellent funding and core facilities, which include on-sitetransgenic services and in-house sequencing, antibody production, andconfocal/electron microscopies together with bioinformatics, structuralbiology and microarray platforms. Scientists from more that 40 countrieswork at the IGBMC. Strasbourg is an international and cosmopolitan city,with a very nice countryside.
Two years salary available.
