About this position

A fully-funded postdoctoral position in molecular biology is available in the Genome Dynamics and Maintenance group of Dr. Pei-Yun Jenny Wu at the Institute of Biochemistry and Cellular Genetics (IBGC), University of Bordeaux, France. The research focuses on the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe to study DNA replication, genome maintenance, gene organization, gene expression, and cellular physiology. The project aims to understand how cells regulate the alternation between proliferating and non-dividing states, with a particular emphasis on quiescence, a state critical for development, differentiation, and response to external challenges. Quiescence is also relevant to tumorigenesis, metastasis, and cancer therapy resistance. The project will use multidisciplinary approaches and state-of-the-art methodologies, including unique models developed in fission yeast, to address these questions from genome-wide to single-cell levels.

Applicants should have a strong background in genetics and molecular biology, with expertise in next-generation sequencing data analysis highly encouraged. Proficiency in spoken and written English is required. The IBGC is a leading biological research center located in Bordeaux, a vibrant city in southwestern France, offering a dynamic and diverse population and easy access to Paris.

The position is immediately available and funded until September 2027, with the possibility of extension. The selected candidate will receive full support for applying to national and international postdoctoral fellowships. To apply, candidates should contact Dr. Pei-Yun Jenny Wu ([email protected]) and submit a letter describing their research experiences, scientific interests, motivation to join the team, a curriculum vitae with contact information for at least two references, and request references to send letters directly to Dr. Wu.

Key academic keywords include molecular biology, genome dynamics, DNA replication, cellular physiology, quiescence, genetics, fission yeast, and sequencing data. The opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in advanced research in molecular biology and genetics at a leading French institution.
