Post-doctorant(e) en génétique et biologie moléculaire des plantes et microbiologie CNRS in France

Postdoctoral position at Nantes Université, France in microbiology, cell biology, host-bacterial interactions, and molecular biology. The recruited researcher will study how Vibrio cholerae interacts with different hosts, including intestinal cell lines, macrophages, heterotrophic protists, and Galleria mellonella waxworms, with a particular focus on the bacterium’s membrane remodeling ability and its role in pathogenicity and transfer through the food chain. The project involves host-bacteria e...

This postdoctoral project focuses on small RNA-mediated gene silencing in a plant-pathogen interaction system. The researcher will investigate how plant-derived small RNAs can be internalized by Pseudomonas syringae during infection and how this process contributes to the repression of gene expression in the bacterium. The work combines proteomics , genetics , and biochemistry to identify Arabidopsis factors taken up by the pathogen, prioritize the most represented RNA-binding proteins inside ba...

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr George Kassiotis on evolution of novel function through retrotransposable element exaptation . The project sits at the intersection of genetics , genomics , bioinformatics , evolution , immunology , and cancer biology , focusing on how transposable elements (TEs) and retrotransposable elements (RTEs) are co-opted to create new gene functions, alternative isoforms, and disease-relevant regulatory changes. The research background highlights...

Fully funded 3-year PhD position in the team of Mathilde Guzzo at MMSB (Molecular Microbiology and Structural Biochemistry), CNRS / Université Lyon I. The project focuses on molecular microbiology , bacterial genetics , signal transduction , biochemistry , and cell biology . Using Caulobacter crescentus as a model organism, the research will investigate how bacteria regulate growth in response to environmental changes and uncover molecular mechanisms of bacterial adaptation. Ideal candidates sho...

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain through the CRG International PhD Programme 2027 . The project, supervised by Dr Eva Maria Novoa , sits at the intersection of RNA dynamics , RNA modifications (the epitranscriptome ), protein mistranslation , cell biology , genomics , molecular biology , genetics , and microbiology . The Novoa lab uses a combination of wet and dry approaches, with strong reliance on nanopore sequencing , to study how RNA changes affe...
