Job opening for a postdoctoral position to join the Structural Motility team at
the Curie Institute Paris, France.
The Structural Motility team is searching for a post-doctoral fellow to join a
dynamic laboratory directed by Anne Houdusse at the Curie Institute (Paris
Center).
We are looking for an expert in biophysics/biochemistry and structural
determination to gain insights on how drugs in phase 3 clinical trials operate
for novel therapies against cardiac diseases. The position will also lead to
the development of chemical biology tools. Our team indeed innovate to
investigate and understand molecular mechanisms in cells. By joining our team,
the post-doctoral fellow will also join efforts on determination of structures
by cryoEM and will increase his/her knowledge on the cytoskeletal by functional
and cellular studies.
Our team studies the mechanism and function of force production by molecular
motors and has made important discoveries on how force generation can power
cellular processes in human health and how mutations in their function lead to
disease. A multi-disciplinary approach that combines structural biology (x-ray
and cryoEM), chemical biology and cell biology is being used in our studies.
With such an approach, we decipher how molecular motors produce force by
visualizing yet unknown structures, or by understanding how their activity is
regulated. We use chemical biology and cell biology approaches to test insights
from structures. We also investigate and develop specific modulators of the
force generated by these motors (including compounds in phase 3 clinical
trials) to investigate how force modulation can lead to new therapies.
We are looking to recruit and train a dynamic and motivated candidate who can
quickly gain independence and take the lead on one of our exciting scientific
projects. Experience in cryo-electron microscopy or cell biology is a plus.
If you are interested, please send a CV and a statement of research interests
and goals as well as three letters of recommendation from your previous
employers.
