Job opportunity for a cellular microbiologist in a supportive environment

We are currently looking for a researcher with an expertise in cellular microbiology:
In our study of antibiotic PK/PD and antibiotic resistance, we have expanded our abilities to gather mechanistic data from multiple sources (conventional microbiology, molecular biology…) at high throughput. The need to get new pre-clinical data on the emergence of antibiotic resistance is of high priority. Thus, we are looking for an experienced researcher willing to take on the challenge of developing new approaches for studying emergence of resistance during treatment. These approaches could include, but are not limited to -omics (transcriptomic, metabolomic…) or molecular biology approaches (Tn-seq…).

This position will be funded through the ATIP/Avenir or the Junior Professor programs. Gross salary will range between 3450€ and 4200€ per month, depending on experience.

Recognizing the importance of a supportive environment, our welcome package includes:
– Funding for the research theme of the applicant. Since successful applicants will be expected to build their own group within our research unit, they will receive a generous welcome package worth 300 K€ to 400 K€ to recruit collaborators and fund equipment.
– Technical support: experienced staff at core facilities and our own technical plateau.
– Administrative assistance: formalities, including visas, insurance, and other necessary documents.
– Personalized mentorship program: connecting you with experienced researchers for guidance.

Community integration: Grand Poitiers will provide assistance in finding accommodation, job for your spouse, school for kids, and other personal / family needs to facilitate your transition.
