About this position
Open postdoctoral position in iron metabolism and immunity at Institut Cochin, Paris, in the team led by Carole Peyssonnaux (IRONY). The project focuses on how hepcidin and iron regulation intersect with infection, inflammation, and cancer, including the emerging idea that hepcidin is produced locally in tissues and immune cells to shape host defense.
The successful candidate will work with unique genetic mouse models, single-cell genomics, proteomics, and advanced imaging (MACSIMA), and will also analyze patient biopsies to identify new therapeutic targets. The role offers the chance to lead an independent work package with substantial scientific autonomy.
This is a fully ANR-funded postdoctoral contract for 2 years, extendable to 3 years, with a flexible start date in early 2027. The position is embedded in a vibrant international environment at Institut Cochin (Inserm / Université Paris Cité / CNRS) in the heart of Paris, with access to world-class core facilities and mentorship aimed at strengthening publication output and career progression.
Applicants should hold a PhD in immunology, immunometabolism, or a related field. Experience with mouse models, flow cytometry, and/or molecular biology is desirable. The post is especially suited to candidates interested in translational immunometabolism, host defense, and therapeutic discovery.
To apply, email your CV, a short statement of research interests and achievements, and contact details for 2–3 referees to [email protected].
