A PhD student position is available at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, in collaboration with Hospices Civils de Lyon, France. The successful candidate will join a translational research project focused on muscle repair in myositis, a group of diseases characterized by muscle inflammation and weakness. This project offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of biology and medical science, contributing to advances in muscle biology and translational medicine.

The research will be supervised by Dr. Laure Gallay (MD-PhD), who is affiliated with both Hospices Civils de Lyon and Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The project aims to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying muscle repair and to explore potential therapeutic strategies for myositis. The position is based in Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, a vibrant hub for biomedical research.

Applicants should have a strong background in biological or medical sciences, with a keen interest in muscle biology, translational research, or related fields. Prior experience in myositis research is a plus but not required. The position is supported by a grant, though specific details regarding stipend and tuition coverage are not provided in the announcement.
