The Curie Institute is inviting applications for Postdoctoral Fellow Biochemistry and Cell Biology for the group of Dr. Sophie Bombard (Biochemistry and Biology of anticancer drugs, belonging to the research unit “Chemistry, Modelling and Imaging for Biology”. The post-doctoral position is for a one-year, commencing in September 2019.

About the position:

• This position seeks a dynamic and enthusiastic candidate who is interested in elucidating the mechanism of action of promising new metal complexes targeting DNA (including G-quadruplex secondary structures) that have been isolated from an in-house screening for their radiosensitizing properties and in visualizing G-quadruplex-interacting compounds in various cancer cell lines.
• The selected postdoctoral fellow will conduct several cellular assays, including cell imaging and ChiP-sequencing, and biochemical assays for in vitro evaluations of the aforementioned compounds.
• The selected postdoctoral fellow will also have ample opportunities to collaborate with internationally recognized biologists and chemists at the Institut Curie.

Requirements:

• Applicant should have a PhD degree in Biochemistry and should be proficient in cell culture and in modern molecular and cellular biology procedures.
• Experience with DNA repair pathways is a significant plus.
• A track record (as evidenced by publications in peer-viewed journals) in relevant field is required.

Applications:

Applications to be sent to Dr. Sophie Bombard: sophie.bombard@curie.fr with CV, a cover letter stating research interests, qualification, and three recommendation letters and references.
