Postdoc in structural biology of amyloids (ERC supported) : Molecular basis of taupathies; University of Bordeaux, France 

Amyloid aggregates are highly ordered protein assemblies that can be both functional and pathogenic. The IDP tau is directly implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, where it forms amyloid aggregates.

We are looking for a postdoc to investigate tau aggregation pathways leading to the formation of specific tau amyloids strains. The position will focus on revealing the influence of different biomolecules on the biophysical and structural features of tau amyloids. The position is part of an ERC startup project “CofacTau” held by Dr. Yann Fichou. 

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate seeking to expend their research experience. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in structural biology, in particular cryoEM or/and NMR spectroscopy applied to amyloids. This is a great opportunity to embrace a multidisciplinary project combining biochemistry, biophysics and structural biology. The successful candidate will be independent and thrive in a small and synergetic team.

The position will take place at the European Institute of Chemistry and Biology (IECB), near Bordeaux, in the team of Y. Fichou <>. The IECB is a multidisciplinary institute and is equipped with several platforms (biochemistry, bacteriology, crystallography, NMR, cryo-electron microscopy) that will be accessible during the postdoctoral project.
