Highlights:
1. A postdoctoral position in membrane fusion biophysics funded by the French Agency of National Research (2500Euro/month gross) is available in my INSERM unit (Membrane Traffic in Neuronal & Epithelial Morphogenesis, IJM, Paris), in collaboration with Manuel Rojo's lab (Mitochondrial Dynamics and Organization, IBGC, Bordeaux) for a project directed by David Tareste.
2. The project aims at elucidating the molecular mechanisms orchestrating the mitochondrial fusion machinery using in vitro reconstitution of candidate fusion proteins into various artificial lipidic platforms, combined with membrane imaging, adhesion and fusion assays (e.g. confocal imaging, FRET-based lipid mixing assay, giant liposomes micromanipulation).
3. Applicants should hold a PhD in experimental physics or biophysics and be highly motivated by biological questions; a background in molecular and cellular biology, or a strong desire in acquiring it, will be appreciated.
4. A minimum commitment for 2-3 years is desired, with a starting date during fall/winter 2009.
5. To apply, please send a single PDF file that contains a CV, a short statement of research interests and experience, and three names of references with contact information to: david.tareste@inserm.fr .
