About the position
Biophysics Postdoc Position - Dynamics of Developmental Processes
Institut Pasteur
Paris, France
A postdoctoral position is available to study dynamic processes in early development of insects and mammals. Successful candidates will join a collaborative and interdisciplinary venture in the newly formed unit Physics of Biological Function of biophysicist Thomas Gregor.
We are interested in the following topics:
Precision and reproducibility of developmental processes
Collective properties of genetic networks
Interplay between chromatin architecture and gene regulation
Candidates will use a combination of skills in molecular and developmental biology, instrumentation and data analysis to answer physics inspired questions that are centered around the living world, such as:
How come biological processes such as the development of an organism are as reproducible as observed?
How are macroscopic organismal properties encoded in the interplay of multiple genes in a network?
How does the polymer physics at the level of the DNA affect the identity of a particular cell type?
Alternative questions that match with the overall goals of the unit can be discussed at the interview stage and can be adapted to the individual progress of the candidate throughout his/her tenure in the unit.
The unit offers the following expertise:
Early fly and mouse development
Quantitative imaging and image analysis
Statistical physics and data analysis
Microscope design and control
Genomic and genetic tool design
Candidates should have a proven successful track record equipped with a combination of these skills. They will have a strong interest for collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Ability to work independently and in collaboration with members of the lab and international collaborators in a dynamic, diverse and multinational group is essential. English is the working language.
