Work Context
The successful candidate will join the Programmed Genome Elimination team at the Institut Jacques Monod in Paris. The Institut Jacques Monod (IJM), a joint research unit of the CNRS and Université Paris Cité, brings together around 300 people and is one of the leading centers for fundamental research in biology in the Paris region. The host team (https://www.ijm.fr/recherche/duharcourt-lab-vf/) is particularly interested in genome dynamics in Paramecium. The IJM is located on the Paris Cité University campus in the Paris-Rive Gauche business district (13th arrondissement of Paris; accessible by all means of transport: Metro 14, RER C, Tramway T3, bus 62 and 89).
