Working environment and context

Our institution is part of PSL University. Located in the heart of Paris, it brings together all areas of knowledge, innovation and creation. Ranked among the top 50 universities in the world, it trains researchers, artists, engineers, entrepreneurs and managers who are aware of their social, individual and collective responsibility in the field of research.

Hosting structure

ESPCI Paris - PSL

ESPCI Paris - PSLis a major institution of higher education (a French "Grande Écoled’ingénieurs"), an internationally renowned research center (6 Nobel Prizes), and a fertile ground of innovation for industry (3 start-ups created/year). ESPCI is a highly multidisciplinary environment with teaching and research in physics, chemistry and biology.

 

Prof. Andrew Griffiths’ Lab

The research activities of the Laboratory of Biochemistry team at ESPCI Paris-PSL, directed by Prof. Andrew GRIFFITHS, are based around droplet-based microfluidics, a powerful new ultrahigh-throughput system in which reaction volumes can be miniaturized by up to a million-fold compared to conventional assays in microtitre plates. This opens up exciting prospects for the development of extremely innovative systems with many applications in the Life Sciences. The successful candidate will join a highly multidisciplinary team, with experience spanning biology, chemistry and physics.

 

Mission

Informations - Recherche

CBI - ESPCIParis-PSL LBC Team - Prof. Andrew Griffiths

Project

The dynamic nature of chromatin and transcriptional features are expected to participate to tumor evolution, particularly in the context of response to cancer treatment and acquisition of resistance. In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), we have recently revealed the heterogeneity of chromatin states in patient-derived xenografts models of acquired resistance to Capecitabine.

The Post-Doc will work on the development of droplet-based microfluidics approach for the simultaneous profiling of histone modifications and RNA expression on the very same cell.

Skills

Requirements

We are seeking a highly motivated Post-Docwith strong experience in molecular biology(scChIP-seq and RNA-seq) or related field. Experience in microfluidics, cell biology and bioinformatics are very appreciated.

 

Flexibility, autonomy, the ability to work in a highly multidisciplinary team and good interpersonal skills are essential.

Non discrimination, openness and transparency

Our institution, like PSL University as a whole, is committed to supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion within its communities. We encourage applications from a variety of backgrounds, which we will ensure are selected through an open and transparent recruitment process.
