Université Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne / University of Saint-Etienne is recruiting a 2-year postdoctoral researcher for the Inhealation project, focused on local prophylactic and therapeutic approaches to respiratory viruses.

The position is part of the GIMAP CIRI UMR5308 team and is funded by the ANRS PEPR grant. The project aims to develop inhaled prophylaxis and post-exposure treatment strategies, with research spanning vaccinology, vaccine immunology, and translational approaches to respiratory infection control.

Applicants should have strong expertise in mice and animal experimentation, plus practical experience with flow cytometry, omics techniques, and single-cell analysis. The post is especially relevant for researchers interested in respiratory virus immunology, biotherapeutics, formulations, and delivery routes such as intrapulmonary and intranasal administration.
