Post-doctoral position, Center of Research in Myology

A postdoctoral position is available at the Center of Research in Myology (UMRS 974 Inserm and Sorbonne Université, Institute of Myology, Paris, France) headed by Gillian Butler-Browne. The position will be in the team ‘Pathophysiology and therapy of the dynamin 2-related centronuclear myopathy' headed by Marc Bitoun. The postdoctoral fellow will work on an ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) project entitled “Therapy of centronuclear myopathies by modulation of Dynamin 2 expression” aiming at achieving preclinical studies of the dynamin 2-allele-specific silencing therapy for centronuclear myopathies in animal models and patient-derived cells.

The ideal candidate is a PhD in muscle pathophysiology and/or therapy. Previous postdoctoral experience is not mandatory. Experiences in muscle histology, animal experimentation and cell culture would be appreciated as well as expertise in proteomic and transcriptomic studies. She/he should be motivated, autonomous, yet willing to work in collaboration with a second team involved in the ANR project.
The work will be performed at the Center of Research in Myology housed at the Institute of Myology (GHU Pitié-Salpêtrière, Babinski building, 75013, Paris, France). The position is granted by Inserm for three years.
Starting date: from December 2018 to February 2019
