1 Post-doctoral Position

Nucleic acid receptors and immunity in Drosophila: a post-doctoral position is

available to functionally characterize novel nucleic acids binding proteins in the

context of antiviral immunity in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. The

candidate receptors have been identified by a proteomic analysis following affinity

purification with various nucleic acid baits. This tri-national project (France, Germany,

Austria) is funded by a European grant in the frame of the ERA-NET program. The

position to work with C. Meignin and J.-L. Imler is for a period of 14 months and is

available immediately (http://ibmc-ridi.cnrs.fr/en/research-groups/antiviral-immunity/).

The applicants must have expertise in molecular biology and drosophila genetics.

Previous experience in the field of virology and/or nucleic acid biology is not

absolutely required but will be an advantage. The selected applicant will join a

multinational team composed of fifteen people, hosted by the Institut de Biologie

Moléculaire et Cellulaire (CNRS) on the central campus of the University of

Strasbourg. Enquiries/applications should be made by e-mail in the form of a CV and

the names and addresses of two references to Aude Petri (a.petri@ibmc-

cnrs.unistra.fr).
