Postdoctoral Position - Developmental Biology : Paris, France

A postdoctoral Position is open in the lab of “Imaging and Regulation of Morphogenesis in Higher Vertebrates” at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France. Our lab is interested in understanding morphogenesis of developing structures, at a cellular level. Using avian models we combine state-of-the-art live imaging microscopy, quantitative analyses, biophysical, cellular and molecular biology approaches to access the cellular dynamics of development.

This specific project aims at elucidating the cellular events underlying the initiation of limb bud formation and how such cell events are dynamically regulated at the molecular level, using the generation of transgenic avian lines and live imaging methodologies. 

The position is a 4-year postdoctoral position funded by the ERC (European Research Council), available immediately. We are seeking highly motivated candidates with expertise in developmental and/or cellular biology. Experience in imaging and chick development will be positively considered.

The Pasteur Institute, located in the vibrant city of Paris, has a longstanding history of excellence in developmental biology and in science in general, with access to excellent core facilities.
