Cofund Fp-Dynamo-Paris - 6 Postdoc Fellowships in Molecular, Structural & Marine Biology CNRS

Description

The COFUND FP-DYNAMO-PARIS program offers a unique interdisciplinary environment and a fundamental research initiative in the center of Paris to train the scientists of tomorrow in the field of Physico-chemical biology. The goal of the research program is to integrate knowledge on gene expression, structural and membrane biology, and bioenergetics in bacteria, chloroplasts, and mitochondria in the general context of improving our understanding of the biogenesis of energy-transducing membranes. These studies will involve cutting-edge technologies including structural biology (NMR, X-ray crystallography, and CryoEM), RNA sequencing, mass-spectrometry, synthetic biology, microfluidics, computational modeling, and visualization.

Post-doctoral fellows will have the opportunity of developing their research projects in a dynamic scientific environment covering Genetics, Genoms and RNA axis.

They will benefit from the supervision of internationally-recognized experts in their fields, as a worldwide network of renowned institutions, cutting-edge research infrastructure, and state-of-the-art technical know-how will allow them to hone their scientific skills, make themselves known and increase their competitiveness in the labor market. Specific training will be proposed to ERs through attendance of the EMBO course on "Laboratory Leadership for Postdocs" included in a retreat in Padua, Italy, and involvement in dedicated complementary soft skills training events.

Eligibility criteria

Who can apply?

Talented researchers who have a PhD degree or equivalent (R2 recognized researchers) at the recruitment date AND. They need to have research experience in the field relevant tot the call.

Applicants must comply with a mobility demand:

  Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activities (work etc.) for more than 12 months in France in the 3 years immediately prior to recruitment date. Time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention, compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.

Selection process

The application should be written in English and submitted to https: // emploi.cnrs.fr/. It must include:

  a detailed CV

  minimum of two letters of reference

  cover letter describing your short and long term career objectives

  signed declaration that you are in compliance with the mobility rule which stipulates that you have not resided or carried out your main activity (work or studies) in France for more than 12 months during the three years preceding the date of recruitment.

  The complete file must also be sent to Bruno MIROUX & Magdalena TORTYNA, respectively director and manager of the project at DYNAMOcofund@ibpc.fr. See details on the website https:// labexdynamo.ibpc.fr/fp-dynamo-paris/

Evaluation

The position is designed as a first step in a research career, and the evaluation of candidates will be based primarily on their research qualifications and skills that can complement and strengthen ongoing research at the partner institutions.

Step 1. The applications of each eligible candidate will be evaluated by independent international experts within the relevant research theme. Eligible candidates will be evaluated on the basis of merit, motivation for the program, academic excellence, and personal qualifications such as collaboration and communication skills.

Step 2. Up to three candidates will be selected for a video interview with the independent experts for each open position (November 2021). After the interview, short-listed candidates will be invited to a remote conference with the project director and a DYNAMO board member to define the general scope of the project, training, and research environment. Applicants will be asked to write a 3-page project proposal, contributing their own original ideas, and will have 2 weeks to submit it.

Step 3. Each project proposal will be evaluated by one of the independent experts and the DYNAMO board member who evaluated the applicant in the previous steps. Final selection will be made based on the scores obtained in Steps 1, 2 and 3. The minimum score must be above 20/40. The best candidate will be offered the postdoctoral position with a start date of January 1 to April 30, 2023.

The CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) is an equal opportunity employer. In addition, FP-DYNAMO-PARIS is committed to promoting the role of women in science and thus explicitly encourages them to apply.
