The rising prevalence of diabetes as a chronic disease constitutes a major public health challenge, closely associated with lifestyle, nutritional, environmental and genetic factors. In this context, Inserm is launching a call for applications to support French German collaborative research in diabetes through the funding of two postdoctoral positions. The program is designed to enable researchers to carry out a two-year postdoctoral stay in French Inserm laboratories, within the framework of joint research projects.
Université Paris-Saclay
Nous recherchons un(e) chargé(e) de recherche, ou un(e) directeur(trice) de recherche, qui souhaiterait évoluer en termes de thématique, d’agents pathogènes ou de compétences. Les expertises dans ce domaine sont très ouvertes, avec des axes privilégiant les interactions protéine-protéine et protéine-ADN, la conformation du chromosome influençant l’expression des gènes ainsi que l’importance de l’oxygène comme paramètre environnemental stressant nos organismes modèles.
Université d'Angers
The candidate will teach (lectures and practical courses) of cellular and molecular immunology and immunopathology for ungraduated and master's students. The research project will focus on links between metabolism and the oxidation-reduction balance that enables macrophages to survive and function in physiological and pathological situations
CBMN CNRS Université Bordeaux
The group “Methodological developments in AFM for biological applications” at the CBMN (Bordeaux) is currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher specialized in structural, mechanical, dynamical and functional characterization of cells interacting with bacterial peptide assemblies. This is a highly interdisciplinary project, funded by an ERC StG, at the frontier between cellular and structural biology, and biophysics, notably combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) and advanced fluorescence and confocal microscopy.
University of Tours
We seek to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Immunology to join the team « Biology of Innate T cells & Lung Immunity ». The post will be based in Tours at the Study Centre of Respiratory Diseases (CEPR), University of Tours, on the Bretonneau Hospital’s Campus.
Institut Pierre Louis d'Epidémiologie et de Santé Publique (IPLESP), Paris
The candidate is expected to develop a series of mathematical models of zoonotic disease transmission. Initially, the work will focus on the joint incidence dynamics of Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis, transmitted by the Ixodes ricinus tick vector. This joint model will be adjusted to a series of epidemiological disease data to estimate the pathogens' transmission parameters, and will be used to carry out a series of projections to assess trends in disease incidence under different scenarios (e.g. global warming). In a second phase, the study framework will be extended to other zoonoses, vector-mediated, or not.
Institut Pasteur, Paris
Chlamydia trachomatis is a human-adapted pathogen and develops exclusively inside a vacuolar compartment. The bacteria control the behavior of the epithelial cells they infect by secreting dedicated ‘effector’ proteins in the host cytoplasm. By combining novel tools (e.g. genetically modified Chlamydia strains) and techniques (culture of primary epithelial cells in organoids, reconstruction of the Fallopian tube-on-chip), the post-doctoral fellow will investigate the function of several effector proteins during C. trachomatis infection.
