  • PhD and PostDoc positions in molecular modeling of cellular condensates at CBS Montpellier (France)

    CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
    PhD and POSTDOCTORAL POSITION    S
    AT CENTER FOR STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY (CBS)
    IN M    ONTPELLIER, FRANCE

    A 3-year PhD fellowship and a 2-year postdoctoral position are available in our team at the CBS Montpellier (France) starting from autumn 2022. The positions are funded by the French National research Agency (ANR) within the BioTop (PhD) and Prospero (PostDoc) projects.


    Both these collaborative projects aim at combining a variety of experimental techniques in biophysics and molecular/cellular biology with theoretical modelling for characterizing the functional, structural and mechanical properties of cellular condensates. Biomolecular condensates arising from the phase separation of proteins and/or nucleic acids are presently recognized to play a key role in organizing cellular environment and they are attracting a huge and ever-increasing attention in disparate fields
    ranging from soft-matter physics to physiology.

    SCIENTIFIC PROJECT AND JOB DESCRIPTION:

    ELF3 plant proteins have the ability to undergo phase-change in response to environmental signals, such as temperature, enabling these proteins to act as developmental switches1. Phase-change occurs through dynamic compartmentalization into biomolecular condensates during the formation of Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. Their structure and the associated dynamics are usually assessed by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), FRAP or SAXS. However, they are
    still poorly understood at the molecular level because nanometer-resolved images of the condensates are very challenging to obtain by means of conventional microscopy methods.
    Our goal is to study the structure and the associated dynamics of LLPS condensates with high spatial-temporal resolution by High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy (HS-AFM), FCS and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM). With its minimal invasiveness, HS-AFM will be employed to catch single proteins diffusing at the LLPS interface, enabling the characterization of the intermolecular interactions. Results will be correlated with X-Ray (SAXS) and Electron Microscopy (EM) structural
    data, as well as with theoretical models and simulations performed by our collaborators.
