We are looking for a competent and enthusiastic individual to join our lab to work on the role of cross-tissue signalling in innate immunity. We previously showed that inactivating mitochondria in the intestine of C. elegans compromises the ability of the epidermis to express antimicrobial peptides . We have now completed a F2 suppressor screen, and several mutants in which this inhibition is relieved have been sent for sequencing. We wish to hire a post-doc to work on the project.
Our international lab is located at the CIML, on the multidisciplinary Luminy science campus on the outskirts of Marseille in the south of France 8).
The post-doc position is available immediately and currently funded for 2 years.
Please send applications (brief letter of motivation and CV, with the names of at least 2 referees) to ewbank@ciml.univ-mrs.fr to whom informal inquiries should also be addressed.
