Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled researcher to join our team at the Institute for Radiological Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN). The successful candidate will be responsible for analyzing the response of human normal thyroid organoids to ionizing radiation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement protocols for the analysis of thyroid organoids exposed to low doses of radiation
  • Conduct experiments to explore the oxidative status of organoids after exposure, including exploration of key signaling pathways, mitochondrial function, and reactive oxygen species production
  • Collaborate with the laboratory of T. Pourcher to develop metabolomic approaches
  • Maintain the long-term culture of thyroid organoids and monitor their response to radiation over time

Requirements:

  • PhD in molecular and cellular biology
  • Experience in cell culture and knowledge of molecular mechanisms of cellular response to genotoxic stress
  • Ability to present research findings at scientific conferences and to administrative authorities

Working Conditions:

Occasional telework

Additional Information:

The position will be located at the IRSN in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France. Salary will be based on qualifications and experience according to the IRSN salary grid. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
