Urgent! Postdoctoral Position in Genomics (bio informatics) (M/F) Job Opening In Paris – Now Hiring Institut Curie

Postdoctoral Position in Genomics (bio informatics) (M/F)



Job description

Institut Curie is a major player in the research and fight against cancer.

It consists of a Hospital group and a Research Center of more than 1000 employees with a strong international objective of the Research Center is to develop basic research and to use the knowledge produced to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics of cancers as part of the continuum between basic research and innovation serving the patient.

Laboratory

We are looking for motivated and productive post-doctoral fellows to join our team “NON-CODING RNA, EPIGENETICS, AND GENOMES FLUIDITY” headed by Antonin MORILLON (), at Institut Curie, Paris, France.

Our research interests focus on regulatory noncoding (nc)RNAs. In high eukaryotes, regulatory ncRNAs have been shown to regulate gene expression, chromatin domains and genome stability.

There is a growing amount of evidence suggesting that they play a central role in cellular homeostasis during normal and pathological development.

Regulatory ncRNA can be classified in small noncoding RNAs that take part of RNAi pathways; and long noncoding RNAs of at least 200 nucleotides in length.

The latter transcripts present the most prevalent class of noncoding genes in the human genome and show a high diversity in structure and functions.

We develop original high throughput sequencing and computational approaches allowing exhaustive transcriptomic studies in yeast and humans and identification of novel lncRNA species.

They are further studied for their fate and function in both eukaryotic systems.

Finally, we investigate clinical relevance of lncRNAs as non-invasive prognostic biomarkers in cancer.

The project

Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBC) have the worst prognosis among breast cancers and lack coding molecular target.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circRNAs were shown to be involved in different steps of cancer biology.

Our aim is to identify a complete dataset of circulating cell-free (in extracellular vesicles) lncRNAs, circRNAs, and novel genes playing a role in TNBC chemoresistance, and immune response escape, and to focus on phenotype and function associated with deregulation of most prominent lncRNAs. Our research is funded by an INCA grant in collaboration with Clotilde Théry lab (Curie).
