  • SENIOR POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW / JUNIOR FACULTY STRASBOURG UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
    The Human Molecular Immunogenetics Group at the Strasbourg School of Medicine wishes to reinforce its expertise in protein biochemisty and/or cell biology by recruiting a tenured researcher (INSERM, CNRS, University) wishing to relocate to Strasbourg or a senior postdoctoral fellow able to successfully compete for the recruitment at the same agencies. The potential candidate is also expected to be able to take advantage of AVENIR (INSERM) or ATIPE (CNRS) startup funds.
    Our young research team is presently composed of two tenured researchers (one professor and one assistant professor), 2 young technicians and 2 PhD students. The group's focus remains the biology, genetics and immunology of non-conventional MHC class I genes in humans and mutant animal models. A background in immunology, although useful, is not mandatory as there will be ample opportunities to tackle the issues from a variety of angles.
    Potential candidates are invited to rapidly contact Siamak Bahram at the address below for further information and discussion:
