Work Context
The LPHI is a Mixed Research Unit CNRS UMR 5294, INSERM UA 15, and the University of Montpellier, dedicated to the study of infectious processes and host immune response. The postdoc will join the ATIP-Avenir team entitled "Post-transcriptional Regulation of Gene Expression in P. falciparum" under the direct supervision of T. Hollin.
The LPHI laboratory offers an excellent intellectual environment for research in microbiology/parasitology, and the University of Montpellier provides numerous technical platforms that are essential for the project.
Additionally, the LPHI includes 4 teams working on parasites (Toxoplasma and Plasmodium) and thus offers a stimulating work environment and a wide range of skills and knowledge to acquire in parasitology.
We strive to create an environment where all individuals are valued, respected, and supported.
The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
Constraints and risks
Work in Containment Level 3 Laboratory.
