📄 Job Description

A 2-year full-time position is available in the laboratory of hematopoietic stem cells and

leukaemia in UMR1274 INSERM/CEA/Universities Paris-Cité/Paris-Saclay in Fontenay-aux-

Roses led by Dr Françoise Pflumio. This position is supported by a grant from the Fondation

de France, and ideally can start early in 2026. We are looking for a highly motivated young Research Engineer who would be interested in joining a research program devoted to studying the role of oncogenic fusions in driving expansion and chemoresistance of human leukaemia.

The project will benefit from the supervision of several well-experienced researchers of the

laboratory.

📄 Candidate Profile

The candidate needs to show solid knowledge in cellular and molecular biology, in

relation to onco-hematology. Academic knowledge of the leukemogenic processes

is important to understand and participate in the experiments necessary for the

project. Technical skills in cell culture, multiparameter flow cytometry (analyses) and

molecular biology are mandatory to work on the project. Knowledge and skills in

preclinical in vivo models are positive hints for being considered for the position.

He/she will need to be able to integrate a team for his/her practical work, in particular

in the supervision of researchers and working with students. A good level of English

language is important in terms of writing, oral presentation and discussion of results.

🔬About the lab

The lab is located near Paris, France, easily accessible using public transportation. The

team is part of the Cellular and Molecular Biology Institute of Commissariat à l’Energie

Atomique et Energies Alternatives. We have all the necessary technical platforms to

successfully develop this project (flow cytometry, animal colony comprising immune-deficient

mice, irradiation facilities, confocal microscopy, molecular biology platform, …). Proximity to

other Parisian Institutes facilitates technical exchanges.

Interested candidates should send a CV, a motivation letter, and a reference letter to:
