Postdoctoral associate

**Job Description**
The Epi-MCL project, supported by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa), is seeking a Postdoctoral associate to join the reMoVE-B team at CRCI2NA in Nantes. This project focuses on dismantling epigenetic resistance in aggressive Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The core mission is to address therapeutic resistance in aggressive lymphomas, particularly exploring how epigenetic modifications, such as DNA or histone methylations, contribute to tumor resistance. The project aims to characterize the molecular impact of these modifications, determine their contribution to overactivation of resistance pathways (e.g., NFkB), and define novel signatures for improved risk stratification in MCL patients. The research will utilize high-throughput technologies, functional models, genetic editing tools, and translational research biological material, with the ultimate goal of identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

**Skills & Abilities**

• Solid background in epigenetics.
• Prior experience in cell culture.
• Experience in hematology (asset).
• Experience in high-throughput data analysis (asset).
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Adaptability.
• Organizational rigor.
• Scientific integrity.
• Ability to work independently.
• Motivation.
• Proactive attitude.

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Biology

**Experience**
Other:
• Prior experience in cell culture is essential.
• Additional experience in hematology and high-throughput data analysis would be an asset.
• Applicant will be expected to be both eligible and competitive for external funding and to apply for grant/fellowship support during the 3-year term, with the intention that this will lead to a tenured position.
