DETAILS OF THE OFFER | Local translation in astrocytes and radial glia. Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study local translation in glial cells. The focus of the project will be to characterize local translation in radial glia and in astrocytes and understand its contribution to the development of the cortex in physiology and physiopathology. Our research combines molecular approaches to characterize mRNAs and the translation machinery (Translating affinity ribosome purification; RNA and protein immunoprecipitation; RNAseq; Mass spectrometry; qPCR…) with imaging techniques (Fluorescent in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence on brain sections) during brain development and in the adult. Candidates must have a PhD degree in neuroscience and a solid practical expertise in molecular biology. The ability to work both independently and cooperatively within a team is essential. The appointment is for about 2 years, but candidates will be encouraged and guided to apply for additional funding opportunities.
The position is available starting from September 2022.
Candidates should send their CV, motivation letter, list of publications, and 2 letters of reference to martine.cohen-salmon@college-de-france.fr. |
