How two recently discovered and oppositely acting transcriptional regulators control metabolism in the Drosophila larval fat body, with a special attention on metabolic paths linked to fat accumulation.

Our team at the IBDM is part of a Maitre de Conference competition for a permanent assistant professor position in Bioinformatics in Aix-Marseille University.

Nous recherchons un/une gestionnaire administratif et financier (H/F). La personne recrutée sera intégrée au sein du Service Administratif et Financier de l’Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille (IBDM).

We are looking for candidates wishing to apply to a CENTURI Program PhD fellowship to work on the cell biology of epithelia in the emerging model Trichoplax.

Required: MSc in physics, biophysics, acoustics, molecular or cellular biology, neurosciences or a related discipline.

The work will investigate how transcription factor protein sequences influence LLPS, nuclear sub-compartmentalization and gene regulation during development.

The intern will develop skills in cell biology (cell culture, immunofluorescence, confocal imaging) and will be trained to use advanced biophysical tools (deformable hydrogel beads, atomic force microscopy).

The selected candidate will receive training in the following areas: molecular biology, cell biology, Xenopus micro-injection and micro-surgery, fluorescent confocal microscopy, video-microscopy, numerical image analysis.

The project aims at uncovering the molecular and cellular bases for Ubx and AbdA distinct motif usage.

The master project (M2) aims at characterizing the epithelial connectivity and collective behavior of the intestinal differentiated domain in homeostatic conditions or under challenging contexts.

During the Master’s project (M1 or M2), the student will use some of the techniques used in the laboratory to quantitatively interrogate the structure-function relationship underlying interallelic interactions.

The M1 student will learn micromanipulation, live confocal imaging, immunofluorescence and quantitative modelling techniques.

During this master project (M2) the student will apply the above method to obtain proof of principle that targeting selected candidate genes can efficiently induce or suppress intramuscular adipose tissue formation.

During this M2 project, the student will work on a recently developed model of medulloblastoma in the chick embryo.

During this master project (M1 or M2), the student will analyze the dynamics of PRC1 dots during neuronal specification and maintenance by in vivo time-lapse imaging, and characterize the nature of these dots.

The M2 project will use state-of-the-art genomics profiling techniques, Drosophila genetics, imaging and molecular biology for studying the antagonistic transcriptional control and dysfunction of fat body lipid metabolism development.

The successful completion of the project will allow you to answer how mechanical tension is generated inside human myofibers by integrating intracellular molecular forces and extracellular mechanical environment.

The M2 project will use state-of-the-art genomics profiling techniques, Drosophila genetics, imaging and molecular biology for studying muscle development.

Applicants should be interested in the quantitative aspects of cell biology, with a particular focus on marine organisms.
