ESPCI web site
Laboratoire d’accueil :
The “École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris” (ESPCI ParisTech) is both a “Grande École d’ingénieurs” and a research institute (17 laboratoires) with a strong international reputation (6 Nobel Prizes). ESPCI is a highly multidisciplinary environment with teaching and research in physics, chemistry and biology.
The Laboratory of Biochemistry at ESPCI ParisTech, directed by Prof. Andrew GRIFFITHS, seeks to recruit a post-doc with experience in molecular biology.
The successful candidates will join a highly multidisciplinary team, with experience spanning biology, chemistry and physics.
The projects of the laboratory 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.
Sujet du postdoc :
The post-doc will work on a project in collaboration with the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
Compétences requises :
We are seeking a motivated post-doc to work on the development of a microfluidic-based approach for ultra-high-throughput single-cell analysis of T and B lymphocytes from human blood.
The candidate should possess a PhD in molecular biology and ideally have experience in :
- Single-cell assays
- Immunoprofiling
- Immune cell culture
Flexibility, autonomy, the ability to work in a highly multidisciplinary team and good interpersonal skills are essential.
