The Platform Interactome Timone of the Institute of Neurophysiopathology (INP) located at the Medical Faculty of AMU at Timone campus (Marseille) is seeking a dynamic and talented engineer with strong background in biophysical methods and protein biochemistry for participation in several interdisciplinary projects. Our unit uses biophysical techniques (Isothermal titration calorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, differential scanning fluorimetry, dynamic light scattering, surface plasmon resonance etc.) to study the molecular mechanisms implicated in neurodegeneration and to develop new diagnostic methods.
The engineer will be involved in developing a novel universal diagnostic method based on denaturation profiles of human plasma samples that will be analyzed with the help of machine learning algorithms. Also, he/she will participate in the screening of a large library of inhibitors of protein-protein interactions to find new compounds that impact microtubular cytoskeleton.
The ideal candidate must have skills in biophysical methods, molecular biology, and biochemistry.
The position is opened for one year, renewable up to 2 years starting from september 2021. Net wage : 1500-1800 net
Address : Plateforme PINT, Institut de NeuroPhsyiopathology, UMR 7051, Faculté des Sciences Médicales et Paramédicales, 27 Bd Jean Moulin, 13005 Marseille
