Position Title: Research Scientist in Microbiology and STORM Microscopy (M/F)
Location: Grenoble
Contract Type: Scientific Fixed-term Contract
Contract Duration: 12 months
Full-time Role
Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience
Required Education: PhD
Experience Level: 1 to 4 years
Research Areas: Molecular and Structural Biology, Biochemistry

Key Responsibilities: The appointed individual will undertake experimental research as part of the "NANOWALL" initiative. This postdoctoral project focuses on investigating the dynamics involved in the synthesis and maturation of critical components of the cell wall in Gram-positive bacteria, specifically peptidoglycan (PG) and teichoic acids (TA). The research aims to uncover significant interactions that facilitate the assembly of these essential components. The project will utilize a blend of click chemistry techniques, super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy, biochemistry, and NMR, applied to both wild-type and mutant strains of the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Primary Activities:

  • Execute research tasks, from experimental design to data analysis and reporting
  • Engage in the daily operations of the laboratory

Required Skills:

  • PhD in Structural or Cellular Biology with a strong foundation in microbiology
  • Prior experience with fluorescence microscopy or electron microscopy
  • Proficiency in data analysis and image processing
  • Effective communication and documentation skills

Work Environment: The Institute of Structural Biology is a prominent entity in the realm of integrated structural biology, serving as a research center, technical platform, and scientific training hub dedicated to advancing research in structural biology.

Additional Information: The initial contract is for a duration of 12 months, with potential for extension.
