DETAILS OF THE OFFER | Working place: Inserm U1124 - Toxicité Environnementale, Cibles Thérapeutiques, Signalisation Cellulaire et Biomarqueurs (T3S) Missions: Addictions are a public health concern, and preventing them is a priority. The development of addictive behavior can have multiple origins, including the misuse and abuse of prescribed medications, exemplified by the opioid crisis in the USA, which began with an increase in prescription opioids. By 2023, over 100,000 opioid overdose deaths are expected in the USA. Risks also exist in France and Europe, with opioid prescriptions steadily increasing in recent years. Due to its national scope and its position at the research-health interface, Inserm is stepping up its involvement in various fields, including psychiatry and mental illness. Among the pathologies requiring particular attention are addictions. In particular, Inserm is keen to address the current epidemy related to opioid pharmaceuticals, whose usage is currently devastating in terms of public health in the USA and most likely elsewhere. A better understanding of these disorders is essential to accelerate prevention policies and prevent situations that bypass public health policies. Such preventive measures may limit the spread of the epidemy in Europe and in France. The teaching project will be integrated into the neuroscience and neurotoxicology teaching offered at bachelor's and master's level. Within the Science Department of the Université de Paris Cité, there is in particular a master's program in neuroscience in which a significant part of the teaching can be delivered. We also have a master in Toxicology and teaching on the opioid epidemy and its toxic mechanisms would be of great benefit to our students. There is also a need to at least some introductory teaching on these issues at the bachelor level. Furthermore, larger scale teaching to inform citizens will be undertaken for example through public conferences or open online citizen teaching as developed in our university.
