The Institute of Structural Biology (IBS) in Grenoble and the Laboratory LEGI
collaborate within the project Nanobiodrop.
This project involves the formation of artificial biological membranes to study the insertion of transmembrane transport proteins and measure their activity. The technique based on the manipulation of nanodroplets has proven effective in vitro and its integration into micro systems is a challenge today that opens interesting perspectives in biotechnology and biology such as drug screening or the study
of artificial cells networks.
The objectives of the postdoctoral position are to associate in a microsystem :
{ The formation of biological membranes by microfuidic techniques.
{ The insertion of transmembrane proteins studied at the IBS (ion channels and transporters) .
{ The measurement of transport activity of these proteins by electrophysiologica l or optical means.
{ The possibility of creating a network of interconnected membranes by transmembrane proteins.
The ideal candidate is a biophysicist, with a knowledge of, or a desire to learn, standard microfabrication techniques. Expertise in fluidics, surface treatment, membrane protein biochemistry and/or electrophysiology will be an asset.
The proposed contract is for two years. It is funded by the French network RTRA "Nanosciences" and the collaborative program in Physics, Chemistry and Biology of the CNRS "Support for risk taking". The candidate will work under the supervision of both LEGI and IBS and will benefit from access to state-of-the-art resources in all aspects of the project.
The candidate should have defended his PhD thesis for less than three years and a part of his scientific training has been done outside of France.

Bio-informatics
We are a microbiology and infectious diseases group in The Netherlands, investigating microbial flora in health and disease in relation to prevention of bacterial infections.
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow bioinformatics/ -statistics who will help us to analyze complex metagenomic data in relation to epidemiological parameters. Besides the complex problem of interpreting phylogenetic data of microbiota, we find there are currently no generally accepted statistical methods available to analyze complex communities in relation to epidemiological determinants, especially not in multivariate ways.
Our final goal is to model complex microbiota with the help of environmental and individual characteristics, with the ultimate goal to predict when disease will develop and to design preventive strategies.
We are looking for someone with experience in the field of metagenomics, bio-informatics, or adjacent fields, who does not dislike statistics and epidemiology, is not afraid of developing new tools, is creative, efficient, independent, and likes to work in a multi-disciplinary team.
The position is guaranteed for at least 3 years. The salary is depending on previous experience and according to the CAO for university medical centres (CAO-UMC: salary scale 10).
