Arbibe Lab | Institut Necker Enfants Malades (INEM), Inserm, Université Paris Cité | Paris, France The Arbibe Laboratory at Institut Necker Enfants Malades is seeking a motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to investigate the role of non-canonical RNA species, including double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs), in intestinal inflammation and epithelial repair in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
The project lies at the interface of RNA biology, intestinal epithelial biology and inflammation, and will combine molecular approaches with intestinal organoids, mouse models and human IBD samples.
The position is part of an ANR-funded consortium project, will start in February 2027, and is funded for 3 years.
Work EnvironmentOur laboratory is part of the Institut Necker Enfants Malades (INEM, Inserm U1151/CNRS UMR
8253), located on the Necker-Enfants Malades hospital campus in central Paris.
INEM provides a collaborative environment bringing together fundamental and clinical research, with access to state-of-the-art core facilities in genomics, imaging, flow cytometry, animal experimentation and organoid culture.
The postdoctoral researcher will interact closely with scientists and clinicians at INEM and with the broader Paris biomedical research community, including Université Paris Cité, Institut Pasteur and Sorbonne Université.
