Chromosome Biology Post-doc position (F/M)

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The hosting structure . The Curie Institute Research Center . France’s leading cancer research and treatment centre, Institut Curie unites a renowned research centre and a specialist hospital, fostering close collaboration between scientists, clinicians and healthcare professionals. It offers an environment of excellence where expertise comes together around shared values: care, humanity, openness, collaboration, efficiency, innovation, solidarity and commitment. Context . The laboratory . The successful candidate will join the team led by Leonid Mirny at Institut Curie, affiliated with both Institut Curie UMR 3664 (Paris) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for ERC GeneMotors Program. The team studies the physical principles of genome organization and their impact on cellular function, combining theoretical modeling, computational approaches, and close interaction with experimental collaborators. A large part of our current research focuses on understanding how cohesin-mediated loop extrusion and chromatin folding regulate enhancer–promoter communication. The project . This position is part of a newly funded ERC-supported project aimed at understanding the mechanistic principles by which cohesin-mediated loop extrusion controls long-range gene regulation and other chromosome function. Expectations / Role . The candidate will play a central role in developing and val
