Post-doctoral/lecturer position Selection dynamics of bacteria and transcriptomics in structured environments

  Version imprimable de cet article RSS

Project : The project aims at developing microfluidic devices allowing the culture of microorganisms in arrays of open compartments, establish the laws of natural selection and clonal replacement in such environments. The ATER will participate to the development of a spatial transcriptomics technologies for bacteria in similar set-ups.

Teaching (135 hours/year, equivalent to 1 afternoon per week) : tutorship and supervision of group projects for undergraduate students in biology at the interface with physics - chemistry. Teaching can be done in French and/or English.

Team and laboratory : The research will be done in the Laboratory of Biophysics and Evolution directed by Philippe Nghe, part of the unit UMR-CNRS ESPCI 8231 Chemistry Biology Innovation at ESPCI Paris. For more information, see https://www.lbe.espci.fr/home/. The laboratory is part of ESPCI Paris, a ‘grande école d’ingénieurs’ in France, which counts 6 Nobel prizes (see www.espci.psl.eu).
Candidate profile : Candidates with recently awarded PhDs in physics, biophysics or biology will be considered. A strong taste for quantitative approaches, interdisciplinarity and team work is required. Teaching requires basic cell culture skills which can be learnt.

Position : 1 year of post-doc with teaching (‘ATER’) starting from May 2022, renewable 1 year.

Contact : Please contact philippe.nghe@espci.psl.eu with CV, motivation and recommendation letters.
