2. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Perceptual discriminations are among the most important decision making processes. One of the most prominent questions in systems neuroscience is how the perception of a given stimulus is encoded in the brain and how this translates to a learned decision that is followed by a motor response. Using the repertoire of experimental techniques available in our lab, such as two-photon and three-photon imaging, multi-electrode extracellular recordings, patch-clamp recordings, holography based optogenetics and psychophysics in awake behaving animals, our goal is to characterize in detail single-cell and neural network activity in the rodent cortex during the learning process of a decision making task.

4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Evolutionary Genomics of RNA Viruses group at Institut Pasteur in Paris is hiring multiple postdoctoral fellows (experimental and bioinformatics) on viral outbreak preparedness and response. Emerging infectious disease (EID) outbreaks have increased significantly in the past decades, both in terms of size and number of causative pathogens. The unexpected nature, sometimes high case fatality rate, the uncertainty of sources and modes of transmission, and the paucity of medical and non-medical countermeasures make EIDs a threat to global human and animal health.

5. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Guermonprez lab investigates the cellular basis of anti-tumor immunity. We intend to understand cellular cross-talks between dendritic cells and anti-tumoral T lymphocytes in the context of cancer development and immunotherapies. The main objectives of this project are:
– to delineate myeloid cells and T cell infiltrate diversity in preclinical models of cancer and clinical samples defining immune landscapes,
– to understand how myeloid cells impact on T cell localization within tumors,
– to identify new molecular pathways underpinning cellular interactions between T lymphocytes and myeloid cells, a special attention will be given on how myeloid cells impact on developmental trajectories of T lymphocytes.
– to evaluate the impact of existing and novel cancer immunotherapies on immune infiltrates.

6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
A significant proportion of patients with COVID-19 still experiences symptoms more than 3 months after an initial infection with SARS-CoV-2. Persisting or reemerging symptoms are varied, with a predominance of asthenia, neurocognitive impairment, and dyspnea. The persistence of these debilitating symptoms defines the Long COVID syndrome, which is now considered a serious public health concern. Importantly, the etiology of Long COVID remains unknown. We propose to test the hypothesis that an inefficient antiviral T cell response underlies Long COVID. The rationale is that suboptimal T cell immunity could promote viral persistence, with residual virus in turn causing localized tissue damage and persistent inflammation.

7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The goal is to analyze the immune response to HBV during and after treatment with a combination of antiviral and immune modulating therapies using a humanized mouse model. Innate and adaptive immunity will be characterized to determine whether efficient immune responses are restored, leading to seroconversion and a functional cure off treatment. We aim to decipher the immune response leading to viral persistence versus viral control and uncover predictive biomarkers of each state.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
Lung tissue resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRMs) represent a population of cytotoxic lymphocytes able to provide frontline immunity against respiratory infections. There is strong evidence that lung cancer (NSCLC) infiltration by CD8+ TRMs is associated with favourable clinical outcomes and improved responses to immune checkpoint blockade immunotherapies. Despite their clinical relevance, the mechanisms underlying the activation and maintenance of TRMs remain ill-defined. The main objective of this project is to understand the impact of dendritic cell populations on the infiltration of lung cancer by CD8+ TRMs during lung cancer development.

9. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
A two years (possibly three) Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Mass Spectrometry is open in the team of basic hearing mechanisms and precision medicine directed by Professor Christine Petit (Institut de l’Audition, Institut Pasteur, Paris, France) in collaboration with Dr Charles Pineau (Protim Core facility, Rennes, France). The project focuses on developing mass spectrometry proteomics approaches to probe protein expression in normal and pathological hearing.

10. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are looking for a talented researcher willing to investigate how bacteria sense and adapt to mechanical cues and their physiological impact on bacterial communities. To address this, we have designed the bacterial confiner in tight collaboration with the lab headed by Morgan Delarue (Cells under pressure, LAAS, Toulouse), a microfluidic chamber to monitor bacterial growth in a controlled mechano-chemical environment. This device has been validated on numerous bacterial species with varying shapes and envelopes, including pathogens. Thanks to the combination of last generation Spinning-Disk microscopy and advanced image analysis tools (Ershov et al, Nat Methods, 2022),

12. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
We are looking for a highly motivated researcher willing to explore the role of 1D wetting in topography sensing, by developing 3D in vitro models in collaboration with the laboratories headed by Sylvie Coscoy at Institut Curie and Vincent Semetey at Chimie Paristech. Two-photon induced polymerization of photoactivable resin will be used to form adhesive fibers of different shapes and sizes. Cellular behavior on these 3D microstructures will be observed and quantified and the mechanisms leading to the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton will be determined. We will also assess how this topography sensing process impacts essential cellular processes, such as cell motility and interaction of bacteria with host cells. Overall, this project aims at understanding how cells navigate in the complex environment formed by the extracellular matrix and how pathogenic bacteria take advantage of this process during infection.

About Postdoctoral Position
Our laboratory has one position available for postdoctoral fellow in the area of inflammation and regenerative disease research. We are interested in mechanisms of tissue homeostasis, adaptation and repair, with an emphasis on tissue long lived cells such as stromal cells. Using novel genetic and pharmacological tools, we investigate the stromal signaling and crosstalk with immune cells, stem cells and other resident cells in different physiological and pathological conditions with a focus on inflammatory and regenerative disorders. We perform mostly in vivo studies, combining lineage tracing and depletion models, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and unbiased approaches such as single cells transcriptomics and epigenetics to characterize molecular and cellular mechanisms.
