Post-Doc Positions (Paris, France)

A newly established research group (led by Dr Robert Koesters, robert.koesters@ med.uni-heidelbe rg.de) in the field of renal cancer genetics has immediate openings for postdoctoral research positions. The research program includes development and analysis of transgenic mouse models, identification of renal cancer genes using transposon-mediated carcinogenesis (Sleeping Beauty), molecular dissection of renal cancer pathways and clinical genetics.

Candidate Qualification:
We are seeking highly motivated and ambitious individuals who are interested in the biology of renal cancer. A doctorate in molecular biology, genetics or related area is required. Preferred candidates will have strong expertise in one or more of the following areas: molecular biology, mouse models, genetics, cancer biology, statistical data analysis. Fluency (written and oral) in English is mandatory.

Research Environment:
The newly opened research building located in Tenon Hospital (4 rue de la Chine, 75020 Paris, France), presently accommodates four teams involved in kidney research, perinatal epidemiology, or cancer biology, and APREC, a nonprofit association involved in clinical oncology. In 2010 three novel teams, including Dr Koesters' group, active in the field of oncology will join the research center at Tenon.
The following core facilities will be made available either in the research building or in close vicinity: A1-type animal facilities, small animal imaging (PET) and hemodynamics platforms, confocal and electron microscopes, L1 and L2 cell culture rooms, proteomics platform and tumor collections. In addition, scientists will be offered access to the transcriptomics, imaging, flow cytometry, and mass spectrometry networks of UPMC, the largest scientific University in France.
