Postdoctoral Position in Retinal Pathology and Development of Next-Generation Treatments
Contexte
The IDV is one of the leading European research centers focused on ocular diseases. It unites researchers, clinicians, and industry partners under one roof to advance the discovery, testing, and development of treatments and technological innovations that benefit visually impaired patients. Postdocs also benefit from professional development opportunities at both the IDV and Sorbonne University.
A two-year (one-year renewable) postdoc position funded by INSERM is available at the Institut de la Vision (IDV) for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying VEGF resistance in several eye diseases and evaluate next generation treatments.
L’équipe de recherche
The successful candidate will join the “Inflammation and Immunology in Retinal Diseases” team at IDV under the supervision of Dr. Guillonneau, a dynamic and multidisciplinary team with expertise spanning molecular to cellular mechanisms, and will also collaborate closely with the GROW research lab, led by Dr. Arkasubhra Ghosh.
Missions
The project will be conducted within the framework of an international collaboration between INSERM (IDV, Paris, France) and ICMR (Narayana Netralaya Foundation, Bengaluru, India). The position involves analyzing multi-omics data from existing human patient cohorts and developing models of VEGF resistant proliferative retinal diseases. Investigations of vascular remodeling will employ a broad range of in vitro and in vivo methodologies, including immunochemistry on retinal flatmounts, live imaging, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing.
Formation et expérience
Candidates with a recent PhD in Neuroscience and experience with relevant experimental techniques (bioinformatics, RNAseq, multiplex ELISA, immunohistochemistry and animals models) are encouraged to apply. Candidates whose profiles partly overlaps the requirements but who have a strong interest in acquiring the other expertise are also encouraged to apply.
Conditions de travail exceptionnelles
To apply for the position, please send a motivation letter with a statement of research interest and a summary of previous research activity, a detailed curriculum vitae, and two reference letters to Xavier Guillonneau (xavier.guillonneau@inserm.fr).
