Postdoc Opportunities in Genetics in France

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the molecular dialogue between tomato and the bacterial phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae . The selected researcher will investigate how endogenous tomato small non-coding RNAs can be internalised by the pathogen and how they may directly reshape bacterial gene expression. The work is centred on identifying the full set of tomato small RNAs that enter the pathogen and characterising their impact on post-transcriptional regulation inside bacterial cel...

This postdoctoral project focuses on small RNA-mediated gene silencing in a plant-pathogen interaction system. The researcher will investigate how plant-derived small RNAs can be internalized by Pseudomonas syringae during infection and how this process contributes to the repression of gene expression in the bacterium. The work combines proteomics , genetics , and biochemistry to identify Arabidopsis factors taken up by the pathogen, prioritize the most represented RNA-binding proteins inside ba...

The EVOGEN team at the Institut de Biologie Intégrative de la Cellule (I2BC) is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how an heterochromatin protein functions during Drosophila spermatogenesis. The project focuses on the Paris sex-ratio (SR) system in Drosophila simulans , a natural meiotic drive context that biases offspring sex ratio through abnormal segregation of sex chromosomes. The successful candidate will investigate HP1D2 , a heterochromatin protein linked to the Y chromosome an...
