About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher in Fungal Infections & Innate Immunity at the Research Center for Respiratory Diseases (CEPR), Inserm U1100, University of Tours, France.

The team studies the pathophysiology of lung infections caused by fungal, viral, and bacterial pathogens. The successful candidate will investigate the mechanisms underlying the innate immune response to Aspergillus fumigatus, with a particular focus on how the fungus adapts and evolves within the pulmonary microenvironment and in response to treatment, and how these adaptations shape host immune interactions.

This project combines immunology, mycology, genetics, cell biology, imaging, flow cytometry, and genomics to study host-pathogen interactions during pulmonary aspergillosis. The position is embedded in a multidisciplinary consortium funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) and provides access to advanced facilities including imaging, flow cytometry and cell sorting, genomics, and mass spectrometry.

Eligibility highlights: Ph.D. in immunology, microbiology, cell biology, or a related field; strong background in microbiology/mycology, infectious diseases, innate immunity, and/or host-pathogen interactions; experience with genetic approaches and in vitro cell culture; experience with imaging, biochemistry, flow cytometry, and/or animal models is desirable; strong communication and teamwork skills.

Location: University of Tours, Tours, France. Duration: 2.5 years. Start: as soon as possible.

How to apply: Send a CV, a cover letter describing your research interests, and contact information for two referees to [email protected].
