Offer Description

ESPCI Paris - PSL

ESPCI Paris - PSL is a major institution of higher education (a French "Grande École d’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, directed by Prof. Andrew GRIFFITHS, are centred 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 both fundamental and applied research. The successful candidate will join a highly multidisciplinary team, with experience spanning biology, chemistry and physics.

Project Description

Within the FLU-PREDICT project, the LBC is responsible for developing and optimizing the microfluidic platform to predict genetic reassortment between avian and human or swine influenza viruses.

The successful candidate will work closely with the project partners.

The LBC, in partnership with its partners, has already developed a reassortment detection system.

The postdoctoral researcher's role will be to adapt the microfluidic system to the project's needs and to be responsible for all microfabrication steps.
