We are looking for an outstanding scientist to help us solve open questions in the cellular reprogramming field. We have pioneered the study of natural
instances of cellular reprogramming establishing the worm as a unique model (see for ex. Jarriault, PNAS 2008; Richard, Dev. 2011; Kagias, PNAS 2012;
Hadjuskova Genesis 2012), while fostering a creative and enthousiastic working atmosphere in the lab. Current projects focus on the nuclear networks
that lead to the initiation of the process, how the transition steps are controlled by epigenetic mechanisms and what mechanisms enforcing cellular
identity maintenance must be counteracted. C. elegans has proved a powerful model to unravel conserved principles underlying how a cell can naturally
change its identity.

Our team is part of the Cell and Developmental Department, at the IGBMC, in Strasbourg, France. This Research Institute (www.igbmc.fr) provides
access to state-of-the-art facilities and a vibrant international research environment.
The successful candidate should have a PhD (or be in the final stages of completion) and be highly motivated with a strong interest in Developmental and
Stem Cells Biology. The ability to work both independently and as a team member and experience in the use of molecular biology and genetic techniques
are essential. Experience in working with C. elegans is a plus.
Note that a very good track record and at least one publication as a first author is required.
Applicants should email a cover letter, a CV, a description of research experience as well as the contact info for 2-3 references to:
