Postdoc position to study neural tube and notochord formation in ascidians
A postdoctoral position is open in the research group of Hitoyoshi YASUO. The group focuses on developmental events shaping the chordate body plan, in particular on the mechanisms leading to the generation of the neural tube and notochord, two defining structures of chordates. We are using ascidian embryos as a model system and our research topics include cell fate specifications, cell lineages, cell shape changes and the orientation of cell divisions. Applicants for this position should have a strong interest in developmental biology and a solid background in molecular and/or cell biology. We have preliminary results which can be developed into several projects. The position is available immediately and the start date is
negotiable.
The postdoctoral position is for 2 years and is funded by the ANR, French National Research Agency. For further information regarding the position and scientific content of the project, please contact Group Leader Hitoyoshi YASUO (email: yasuo@obs-vlfr.fr, tel: +33 (0)4 93 76
