Offer Description

Project overview:

We’re looking for a junior Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Engineer to join an interdisciplinary project aimed at developing therapeutic approaches against pathogenic viruses in the Paramyxovirinae subfamily.

Funded by the France2030-PEPR-MIE program (https://lnkd.in/e-9AKv8Z), this collaborative project unites 8 French teams with expertise in biochemistry, virology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical development to design antiviral strategies targeting “viral factories” within infected cells.

Responsibilities:

As part of the “Pathophysiology of Respiratory Infections” team at the “Research Center for Respiratory Diseases (CEPR)”, you will contribute to Work Package 3 (WP3). WP3 is dedicated to assessing the mechanisms and antiviral properties of compounds targeting the viral NTAIL-XD complex interaction (DOI: 10.1007/978-3-319-20164-1_12), in combination with antiviral metabolic modulators like succinate (DOI: 10.15252/embj.2021108306).

Location:

Inserm unit 1100, Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, team1: “Pathophysiology of respiratory infections”, Faculty of medicine, Tours, France. www.cepr-inserm.fr

The host lab offers state-of-the-art technological facilities for cell culture, flow cytometry, cell and molecular biology, microscopy and animal studies. Our dynamic research team includes researchers, lecturers, clinicians, technicians, postdocs and students.

 

Position based in our laboratory on a 16-month contract, starting in early 2025.

 

Requirements
