Job Description
We are looking for talented and motivated postdoctoral researchers to join the Biology of Infection Unit led by Marc Lecuit at the Institut Pasteur, in Paris, France. The laboratory develops cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of infection from both the microbe and host perspectives.
Laboratory interests
There are fundamental gaps in our knowledge of infection biology, especially for facultative intracellular
pathogens. To fill these gaps, we conduct multidisciplinary and integrative approaches using Listeria
monocytogenes as an advanced model pathogen. The Biology of Infection Unit has unique assets, combining humanized infection models, a large and unique collection of genetically characterized Listeria strains, state-of-the-art technologies, and a unique cohort of listeriosis cases with patient and Listeria genomic data.
Environment
The Institut Pasteur is a renowned biomedical research center located in Paris. It offers state-of-the-art
technology and platforms. Full administrative support is provided for foreign candidates (help with visa,
accommodation, social security, transportation). It is not necessary to speak or learn French to work in the
laboratory.
Candidate requirements
Applicants must have a PhD or MD degree. Applicants should have a strong background in either immunology,
cell/tissue biology, microbiology, genomics, single cell analysis, bioinformatics, imaging, big data analysis.
Candidates should be highly motivated and ambitious. Technical expertise in molecular biology and/or
biochemistry is highly desirable. Applicants should be fluent in English.
Applicants should send their CV, cover letter and contact details of at least two referees at
