POST-DOC POSITION: ENDOCYTOSIS IN MURINE MODEL SYSTEMS Institut Curie (https://institut-curie.org/) is a cancer research center in Paris, France, that is characterized by a highly interdisciplinary spirit and cutting-edge equipment (https://science.institut-curie.org/platforms/).
We are seeking to recruit a post-doctoral researcher for the Endocytic Trafficking and Intracellular Delivery team in the Cellular and Chemical Biology Department (http://minilien.curie.fr/89q4ev). The successful candidate will be working on a collaborative project with the team of Roberto Weigert at the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, USA; https://ccr.cancer.gov/Laboratory-of-Cellular-and-Molecular-Biology/roberto-weigert). In genome engineered mouse models, he/she will study glycan-dependent forms of non-conventional endocytic uptake, termed GlycoLipid-Lectin (GL-Lect) endocytosis, using advanced light microscopy and intravital imaging. The following requirements should be met: • Strong experience in mouse models (animal handling, histopathology…) • Knowledge in molecular and cellular biology • Expertise in light microscopy (experience in intravital microscopy would be a strong
advantage) • International mobility and excellent interpersonal and communication skills to operate
in an interdisciplinary environment between different teams • Initial funding available; candidates are expected to have a competitive track record to
apply for external follow-up funding • Position available from March 2019
Applicants should send a motivation letter, CV, and contact information of at least two references to: [email protected] and [email protected] Selected publications for the host team in the area of the current project: (1) Lakshminarayan, R., (…) and L.
