POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN MOLECULAR NEUROBIOLOGY, FRANCE

Postdoctoral positions are available at the Institut Curie. Our laboratory is studying the molecular mechanisms and the signal transduction pathways that control neuronal death in Huntington's disease (HD). HD is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutation in the ubiquitously expressed protein, huntingtin. One project will focus on the study of cellular dynamics in Huntington’s disease and neuropathological pathways leading to neuronal death. Another project aims to address the functions of huntingtin in non neuronal tissues and how these functions can be regulated in health and disease.
Experience in cell and molecular biology is required. Additional knowledge in signal transduction, neurobiology and/or transgenic mouse technology would be helpful. Candidates with a recent PhD are prefered.
The laboratory is part of the Curie Institute and the CNRS. It is located in Orsay in the University campus, close to the CNRS center of Gif/Yvette and only 30 min to downtown Paris.
