진학프로석·박사 채용 접수 플랫폼

Welcome to our Team in Paris! The successful candidate will join the Kidney, Vessels, Inflammation and Metabolism (KVIM) team, which studies how immune, vascular and metabolic pathways shape kidney injury and fibrosis. We investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive human kidney diseases, from early injury to organ failure. 

Kidney failure is expected to rank among the top five causes of death in the next 15 years, and chronic kidney disease is a major contributor to cardiovascular mortality and cognitive ageing, making this research area highly impactful.

The postdoctoral project will focus on understanding how epithelial metabolic programs shape signalling with fibroblasts and immune cells in the fibrotic kidney niche, using both experimental models and human samples.

Main tasks and responsibilities
•    Lead an independent research project on epithelial metabolism and kidney fibrosis.
•    Use a broad translational toolbox, including cell culture and organoids, mouse genetics, and deeply phenotyped human samples and datasets.
•    Integrate experimental work with advanced analysis of clinical and multi‑omics data to identify disease mechanisms, biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
•    Present results in lab meetings, conferences, and contribute to manuscript preparation.

Profile and requirements
•    PhD (or equivalent) in biomedical sciences (e.g. cell biology, physiology, nephrology, immunology, biochemistry or related fields).
•    Strong background in at least one of the following: kidney biology, fibrosis, epithelial biology, metabolism, or immunology.
•    Prior experience with relevant experimental techniques (cell culture, mouse models, or organoids); experience with omics data analysis is an asset but not mandatory.
•    High motivation, ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team; good communication skills in English.

Research environment
Our international team includes technicians, engineers, scientists and physician‑scientists, offering daily interactions between basic and clinical research, strong mentoring, and a supportive environment to develop your independent career.

Employment conditions
•    Full‑time postdoctoral position, funded for 2 years with possible extension.
•    Salary according to Inserm/Université Paris Cité scales and experience.
•    Starting date: flexible in 2026–early 2027
