Job Offer
Our lab is always looking to hire talented and motivated students and scientists at all stages of their careers. If you are interested in our work, please get in touch, even if you don’t see a suitable vacancy posted below.
18-months contract for an engineer in molecular and cell biology.
We seek a molecular/cell biologist to develop protocols for visualizing and controlling the intracellular localization of molecular motors. The task involves designing and producing plasmids, adapting transient transfection and lentiviral transduction protocols for various cell lines, characterising protein expression and function using video microscopy, and assessing the control of protein localisation using light patterning on living cells. Candidates should therefore have strong experience in these methods, particularly in molecular and cell biology.
Our laboratory consists of eight permanent members and around a dozen young scientists, ranging from pre-doctoral to post-doctoral level. Half of them are based in Paris and the other half in Grenoble. They communicate and exchange ideas, advices and questions on a daily basis. Therefore, it is essential to have excellent communication skills and a passion for team building. Furthermore, the position is based in Paris, where there are currently only two permanent members. The recruited engineer will therefore be expected to contribute to the technical management and organisation of the laboratory.
If you are interested in joining our vibrant team and taking on this scientific challenge, please contact us promptly. Although there is no strict deadline for this recruitment drive, our aim is to hire someone by the end of 2025, who will then start in early 2026.Our research units in the center of Paris at the Institut Pierre Gilles De Gennes, or close to the Alpes at Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Grenoble have both access to outstanding microfabrication and imaging platforms.
Students and scientists working with us will have a unique opportunity to be part of an internationally renowned team, working in demanding but creative and lively environment.
Motivated candidates are encouraged to apply by sending their CV and motivation letter to Laurent Blanchoin (laurent.blanchoin@cnrs.fr) and Manuel Thery (manuel.thery@cea.fr). They should also ask their former supervisors to send honest and personal letters of recommendation directly to Laurent and Manuel.
