PhD position in multi-scale modeling of biomolecular condensates

Website CBS Montpellier (INSERM, CNRS, University of Montpellier)

A 3-year PhD position starting October 1st 2021 is available in the multiscale biomolecular modeling team at the CBS Montpellier (http://www.cbs.cnrs.fr/index.php/en/home-equipea6) within the Labmuse Epigenmed PhD training network on “Regulated protein-nucleic acid compartment formation in the signaling of fundamental biological processes” .

The PhD student will focus on multi-scale molecular simulations to investigate nuclear and cytosolic protein/DNA condensates in close collaboration with Dejardin and Laguette labs (IGH, Montpellier) with the final goal of translating the experimental results obtained by our partners into a comprehensive, physics-based picture and to explore the general thermodynamic principles of cellular condensates.

We are looking for students with a solid background in the physical sciences (e.g. physics, chemistry, and engineering) who have a keen interest in studying biological systems.

Candidates will have to apply to the competitive Labmuse Epigenmed call  (Deadline: May 26th, 2021)

Interested candidates are also invited to contact Alessandro Barducci (alessandro.barducci@cbs.cnrs.fr) for informal inquiries.
