PhD Opportunities in Drug Delivery in France

PhD position in episignatures and long-read sequencing at the University of Rouen Normandy in France, within Inserm UMR1245 / Cancer and Brain Genomics (CBG) and in partnership with Rouen University Hospital . The project focuses on using PacBio HiFi sequencing to build the next generation of episignatures. These DNA methylation “fingerprints” may help solve unsolved cases of neurodevelopmental disorders and improve genetic diagnosis in rare disease research. We are looking for a PhD candidate w...

Centre Energie, Environnement, Procédés (CEEP) at Mines Paris - PSL is recruiting a PhD student for a thesis on thermo-physiological modeling and AI control for personalized thermal comfort in electric vehicles . The project focuses on cabin air conditioning and HVAC control, addressing the limits of steady-state comfort models such as Fanger’s PMV in transient, non-uniform vehicle cabins. The doctoral research will develop a 3D thermo-physiological occupant model , validate it through human-sub...

PhD opportunity at Institut Pasteur in Paris within the PPU-Research & Technology program (#SpencerShorteProgram). This project is led by Julia Chamot-Rooke and Guillaume Dumenil , bringing together the Mass Spectrometry for Biology and Vascular Infections Pathogenesis teams. The research aims to develop an innovative PlantAndCast cross-linking mass spectrometry (XLMS) approach to identify direct contacts between pathogen surface proteins and host cell factors during infection, using Neisseria m...
