Postdoc Opportunities in Nutrition in France

This post-doctoral position is part of the LESS malnutrition GHIGS project at the Université de Bordeaux and focuses on the scientific and operational coordination of a clinical trial in northern Nigeria (Yobe State) within the ALIMA humanitarian mission. The post-doctoral researcher will contribute to the preparation and implementation of a randomized three-arm clinical trial involving 1,008 children aged 6 to 59 months. The project includes protocol development in line with SPIRIT guidelines a...

This post-doctoral project at INRAE Centre Clermont - Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes focuses on nutrition-based strategies to restore the anabolic response of muscle to a meal. The work is centered on whether fermented foods developed in the DOMINO project can improve muscle recovery after immobilization in an aged rodent model. The successful candidate will coordinate and monitor an animal experiment using aged rats immobilized with casts, then assess whole-body and tissue-level metabolic responses. Thes...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Santé et Agroécologie du Vignoble unit (SAVE) at the INRAE research centre in Villenave d’Ornon, near Bordeaux, within the Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin (ISVV) . The role sits in a research environment focused on agroecological transition in viticulture and on close collaboration with professionals in the wine and biocontrol sectors. The successful candidate will contribute to Parsada GetUp (2025–30) , a project developing operational solu...

This postdoctoral project investigates the role of TMEM33 in the context of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) , with a particular emphasis on macrophages and the broader mechanisms driving fatty liver disease. The work is part of a collaborative project with Pr. Aimin XU at The University of Hong Kong , bringing together complementary expertise around liver disease, metabolism, and translational biomedical research. The project is grounded in strong preliminary fin...

Postdoctoral Position in Cardiometabolic Disease and Adipose Tissue Biology The SHEA-META project, titled Sex-Specific Heart–Adipose Communication Driving Metabolic Dysfunction in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy , examines the biological communication between the heart and adipose tissue that contributes to metabolic dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy. The postdoctoral researcher will join Team 2 of the INSERM U1167 RID-AGE Unit at Institut Pasteur de Lille, working under the supervision of Dr. Anni...

Université de Rouen Normandie is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Physiopathologie surrénalienne et gonadique team at Inserm U1239 in Rouen, France. The postdoctoral project is supported by the PEPR Santé des Femmes et des Couples programme under France 2030 and is conducted within the Infertil-SaFe consortium. The research will explore the steroidome and metabolome during prepubertal testicular development. The work focuses on understanding biological processes relevant to male ...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Reproductive Biology is sought to join the Adrenal and Gonadal Pathophysiology team at Inserm U1239, University of Rouen Normandy, in Rouen, France. The project is part of the Infertil-SaFe consortium and is funded through the PEPR Santé des femmes et des couples programme within France 2030. It will investigate changes in the steroidome and metabolome during prepubertal testicular development , with a focus on biological mechanisms relevant to male reproductive develo...

Postdoctoral position at Nantes Université, France in microbiology, cell biology, host-bacterial interactions, and molecular biology. The recruited researcher will study how Vibrio cholerae interacts with different hosts, including intestinal cell lines, macrophages, heterotrophic protists, and Galleria mellonella waxworms, with a particular focus on the bacterium’s membrane remodeling ability and its role in pathogenicity and transfer through the food chain. The project involves host-bacteria e...

Sorbonne Université is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the team led by Dr Fabienne Foufelle, “Metabolic diseases, diabetes and comorbidities,” within UMRS 1166 (Inserm / Sorbonne Université) and the ICAN University Hospital Institute at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. The project focuses on defining the optimized configuration of an adipose tissue-on-chip device for adipocyte culture. The work sits at the intersection of metabolic disease biology, tissue engineering, and microd...
