About this position
Institut Pasteur in Paris, France is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for a 3-year, fully funded project supported by an ANR grant (IMMflammation).
The project sits at the intersection of mitochondrial biology, innate immunity, cardiology, and heart failure. The successful candidate will investigate how mitochondrial membrane damage in cardiomyocytes triggers sterile inflammation, adverse remodelling, and heart failure, with an additional focus on why the heart is uniquely vulnerable and how biological sex influences the outcome.
Research methods include genetic mouse models, multi-scale cardiac physiology, single-cell transcriptomics, quantitative imaging, histology, flow cytometry, and related approaches in cardiac and immune biology. The post is embedded in the Mitochondrial Biology Unit (Timothy Wai) at Institut Pasteur and benefits from strong published and unpublished preliminary data, world-class core facilities, and collaborations with leading Paris cardiovascular and immunology groups.
Applicants should hold a PhD in immunology, cardiac physiology, mitochondrial biology, or a related discipline. Hands-on experience with single-cell RNA sequencing and analysis is required; experience with mouse models, histology, flow cytometry, or cardiac/immune biology is desirable. Strong communication skills, curiosity, creativity, rigour, and a collaborative mindset are emphasized.
The position offers a competitive salary, comprehensive French social benefits, extensive training and career development opportunities, and a vibrant international research environment in Paris. Start date is flexible in 2026-2027. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
To apply, send a CV, a short statement of research interests and past achievements, and the contact details of 2 or 3 referees to timothy.wai@pasteur.fr.
