Offer Description

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc interested in the control of gene expression and the regulatory networks involved in bacterial adaptation to their environment.

The person to be recruited will study the transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression in the Escherichia coli model bacterium, focusing on these exerted by two-component systems and regulatory RNAs. This study will combine detailed single-gene analyses and larger scale genetic approaches to identify the regulations that matter in response to different environments.

The person to be recruited will work under the direction of Maude Guillier and will join the group 'RNA control of gene expression' within the CNRS unit UMR8261. He/she will interact with all members of the group (4 permanent and 4 non-permanent persons at the moment). This team is part of the CNRS unit 'Microbial Gene Expression' of the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, located in the center of Paris.
