PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Cryo Electron Microscopy in France

This postdoctoral project focuses on the structural biology of amyloid aggregates and the molecular basis of tauopathies. The work is centered on tau, an intrinsically disordered protein implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, where it forms amyloid assemblies with distinct pathological conformations. The project aims to characterize tau aggregation pathways that lead to amyloid states reproducing biological strain-like properties, including structure and seeding be...

This postdoctoral position at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) is focused on the molecular study of UCP1 mutants that are described as hyperactivated. The project combines complementary experimental approaches to understand the properties of these variants at both the biochemical and cellular levels. The successful researcher will work on a set of interconnected tasks spanning protein purification , cryo-EM structural analysis , molecular dynamics , cell transfection , met...

🔬 The IMoPA laboratory (CNRS / University of Lorraine, UMR 7365) is advertising a postdoctoral researcher position in structural biology with a focus on cryo-EM and the assembly of snoRNPs . The project is centered on deciphering, at the molecular level, the assembly mechanisms of C/D-box and H/ACA-box snoRNPs within the RNA/RNP team led by Xavier Manival . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in RNA biology, ribonucleoprotein complexes, and structural approaches to macromolecular asse...
