Post-Doctoral
Post-doctoral position : Optimisation and Preclinical Assessment of Mucosal Vaccines in the Aged Population
Vaccine efficacy is significantly reduced in older populations. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team in developing and evaluating vaccines using physiologically relevant in vitro models, including precision-cut lung slices and lung organoids, alongside preclinical models.
Open Postdoctoral Position
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team working on the development and application of advanced biomimetic models, including organoids and human airway-on-a-chip systems, to study viral infections and evaluate therapeutic strategies as well as their toxicity.
Postdoctoral position in bacteriology and molecular microbiology – Vector-borne diseases
Plague and Yersinia pestis team, Institut Pasteur de lille, France
The position
As part of an interdisciplinary project funded by the Priority Research Program and Equipment on Emerging Infectious Diseases (PEPR-MIE), we are seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the molecular mechanisms used by Yersinia pestis to infect fleas.
The project will combine bacterial genetics, molecular microbiology, flea infection models and omics-based approaches to identify bacterial determinants required for colonisation, survival and transmission in the flea vector.
This position is embedded within a collaborative project spanning the natural, medical and human sciences, with the broader aim of understanding the mechanisms that have shaped the spread, persistence and re-emergence of plague, one of the most historically devastating infectious diseases.
The position is expected to start in September 2026 and is funded for up to two years. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
The successful candidate will receive mentorship to prepare applications for permanent research positions in French national research institutions, including Inserm and CNRS.
