The “Institut Curie” is a major player in the research and fight against cancer. It consists of a hospital and a Research Center of more than 1000 employees with a strong international objective of the Curie Institute Research Center is to develop basic research and to use the knowledge produced to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics of cancers as part of the continuum between basic research and innovation serving the patient.

Laboratory

The team is part of the Department of Immunology (INSERM U932, .) located within the exciting scientific environment of the Institut Curie, one of the largest European institutions for cancer research and biomedical research with strong interdisciplinary traditions.

Philippe Benaroch's team () works on the biology of human myeloid cells, which represent a very ancient form of cellular immunity. Myeloid cells indeed constitute the first line of defense against many pathogens. The team studies how, at the molecular level, viruses manage to infect macrophages and how these macrophages defend themselves and protect us. The team also investigates the role of myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment and in the mechanisms of tumor resistance and evasion of the immune response. Finally, the team aims to exploit the functional properties of myeloid cells for therapeutic anti-tumor purposes through genetic manipulation.

Missions

The engineer will primarily work on the interactions between macrophages and viruses.

- Culturing of cell lines and primary cells

- Cell biology, fluorescence microscopy, and FACS

- Molecular biology: cloning and production of viral vectors

- Biochemistry: western blotting and immunoprecipitations

- Laboratory management and coordination with other teams on the floor

- Data analysis and presentation at lab meetings

Candidate Profile

- Master's or PhD in Immunology and/or Oncology

- Motivation for teamwork and multitasking

- Strong self-organization skills

- Proficiency in English (B1 level)

- International candidates are welcome.
