Description

Marie Curie, Paris / France

Research area: Cortical development.

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position. The project aims to identify molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms of cortical development and their role in complex neurodevelopmental disorders.The lab is located at the recently opened Institut du Fer à Moulin, an INSERM Neuroscience Research Center affiliated with the University
Pierre & Marie Curie (www.u839.idf.inserm.fr). The institute provides access to state-of-the art core facilities for molecular and cellular biology, imaging and behavioral studies. The position is open for an ambitious and independent scientist with background in molecular biology. Experience in areas of functional genomics, expression analysis, ChIP and/or proteomics could be beneficial.
