PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Transcriptomics in France

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on how C. elegans adapts to acute, non-lethal thermal stress and why individuals within the same population respond differently. The team has established a stress model that produces two worm subpopulations with distinct outcomes for growth, fertility, and lifespan, and the project aims to uncover the genetic regulatory network and molecular mechanisms underlying this variability. The work combines experimental biology and bioinformatics. The postdoctora...

The position is part of the TERRA-MED doctoral programme and the OPTIBIO project: Optical tools and methods for the agroecological transition: studying wheat mixtures under biotic stress . The successful candidate will be hosted by the Université de Montpellier and the ChemoSens grou...

PhD opportunity in the EU-funded MSCA Doctoral Network PANDORA (Discovering Pathomechanisms and Novel Drug Optimization for AMD) at Sorbonne Université, based at the Institut de la Vision in Paris, France. The project, DC4, is focused on evaluating how complement dysregulation influences mononuclear phagocyte accumulation in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) . The research addresses a key question in AMD pathogenesis: how subretinal mononuclear phagocytes, including microglia and monocyte-d...

Two-year postdoctoral fellow position in adipose tissue pathophysiology at the Saint Antoine Research Centre (CRSA) , INSERM / Sorbonne University , Paris 12, France. The postdoc will join the team “Lipodystrophies, metabolic and hormonal adaptations, and aging” led by Pr B. Fève , working with Pr V. Béréziat , Dr C. Lagathu , and Pr J. Capeau (emeritus professor) on the metabolic sub-study of the international ELDORADO clinical trial . Research topics include: characterization of adipose tissue...

Postdoctoral position in HIV latency and virus-host interactions at Institut Cochin in Paris, France , jointly affiliated with Inserm , CNRS , and Université Paris Cité . The project is supported by ANRS-MIE and focuses on the molecular mechanisms that allow replication-competent but transcriptionally silent HIV-1 to persist in latently infected cells. The research aims to understand how cellular factors controlling premature transcription termination enforce transcriptional silencing of HIV. Th...

Postdoctoral Position: Addressing the mechanical evolution of colorectal cancer The Tumor Dynamics and Plasticity group at Institut Gustave Roussy (Villejuif, Paris) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join a newly established, multidisciplinary team led by Carlos Pérez-González. The lab is focused on understanding how mechanochemical signals regulate tumor cell state patterning and how these mechanisms contribute to tumor progression and clinical outcome. This project sits at the interfa...

Postdoctoral position available at Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, Paris, France with the “Tumor Dynamics and Plasticity” group led by Carlos Pérez-González (ERC Starting Grant). The project focuses on how mechanochemical signals drive tumor cell state patterning , progression, and clinical outcome in colorectal cancer . The research bridges tissue mechanics and transcriptomics , including image analysis (cell segmentation, tracking, morphometry), spatial transcriptomics , and single-cell ...
