PhD opportunity - Epigenetic regulation of Transposable Elements and cell cycle checkpoints during the development of the nervous system in Drosophila

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The CBI (Centre for Integrative Biology) is seeking motivated PhD candidates as part of the BEST Doctoral Programme of the University of Toulouse. Located in Toulouse, in France, the CBI is a a fundamental biology research institute affiliated with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) – the largest public research organization in France – and the University of Toulouse. The CBI aims to understand the mechanisms, dynamics and behaviors of living organisms, to advance knowledge on the current societal challenges. Research at the CBI use multidisciplinary and multi-scale approaches, from isolated molecules to whole organisms and animal societies, applied to numerous model organisms, from bacteria to animal models and to humans. This PhD opportunity is entitled : Epigenetic regulation of Transposable Elements and cell cycle checkpoints . during the development of the nervous system in Drosophila . The student will be co-supervised by Luisa Di Stefano at the Center for Integrative Biology in Toulouse and by Richa Arya at Department of Zoology, BHU, India.
