Research Group Leader at Institut de Génomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon
The Institut de Génomique Fonctionnelle de Lyon (IGFL) currently hosts 13 groups (approx. 110 personnel). The Institute has just moved to a newly commissioned 3200 sq. m. building, within the multidisciplinary campus of Lyon-Gerland, and, in line with its expansion, is hiring additional groups.
Research at the IGFL focuses on the role of the genome in animal physiology, developmental biology and evolution. In addition, the IGFL is actively seeking to strengthen its research in bioinformatics and modelling at the genomic scale.
IGFL groups have full access to state-of-the-art core services, including high throughput sequencing technologies, X-Ray microtomography, 2D and 3D imaging and morphometrics, transgenic animal facilities (mouse, fish, drosophila), bioinformatics, mass spectrometry, proteomics, FACS sorting, histology and electron microscopy.
The IGFL proposes two distinct calls for outstanding young scientists wishing to start their own team as well as established group leaders:
#1-2013 Non-thematic call Group leaders with a strong interest in animal-based research falling within the scientific mission of the
Institute – namely physiology and physiopathology, developmental biology and evolutionary sciences – may apply to this call.
#2-2013 Genomics Group leaders performing research on whole genome data analysis, gene regulatory networks, modelling of biological processes to understand genome structure and evolution may apply to this call. In addition to office space, the Institute can accommodate the requirement for wet laboratory facilities.
Applications (in English, specifying the call reference in the subject line) should include curriculum vitae, a short description of achievements and records of self-financing, a proposed research program of max. 10 pages and contact details for 3 professional references. The deadline for applications is July 15th 2013. Please send as a single PDF named
LASTNAME_IGFL_2013.pdf to direction.igfl@ens-lyon.fr Enquiries should also be directed to this address. http://igfl.ens-lyon.fr
Closing date: July 15, 2013.
