About this position

CNRS and the University of Bordeaux are advertising a PhD student position in Life and Health Sciences at the Institut de Biochimie et Génétique Cellulaires (IBGC, CNRS UMR 5095) in Bordeaux, France.

The project is hosted in the GBmetabo team and supervised by Audrey Burban. It focuses on glioblastoma stem cells, with a particular interest in the role of surface proteins in tumour biology, metabolism, tumour formation, progression, and response to treatment. The work also examines interactions between tumour cells and the tumour microenvironment, including neurons and astrocytes.

Research methods include cell culture, patient-derived glioblastoma organoids, co-culture systems, functional assays, molecular and cellular biology techniques, proteomic and metabolic analyses, flow cytometry, Western blot, immunofluorescence, histology, immunohistochemistry, and in vivo orthotopic mouse models.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a Master degree or equivalent in biological sciences, with a background in cellular and molecular biology and an interest in neuro-oncology. Experience in cell culture and/or molecular biology is required; experience with in vivo models is desirable. Training in animal experimentation, ethics, regulations, and animal welfare is required. Basic French is listed as the language level.

The position is full-time and temporary. The deadline is 8 October 2026. Apply via the CNRS job portal; a Euraxess link is also provided for viewing or applying.
