Post-doc position in cell biology / cardiovascular diseases

The candidate will join the research group working pursuing a translational research program on “cardiac valve diseases” at the institut du thorax (INSERM, CNRS, Nantes University, Nantes, France). L'institut du thorax is a public expert center dedicated to translational research (from bench to bedside) focused on the pathophysiology of cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic diseases.

We are looking for a highly motivated post-doc with understanding and expertise in cell biology, biochemistry and molecular analyses to unravel the molecular mechanisms leading to cardiac valve diseases.
The research program is currently funded by French National Research Agency and European grants, and is carried out in close collaboration with teams from France, Europe and North America.

The candidate will benefit from technical support from the team to establish himself as an associated researcher and open up longer-term research perspectives in the laboratory.
