Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The BMP in Angiogenesis and Lymphangiogenesis lab (BAL), part of the Interdisciplinary Research Institute of Grenoble (IRIG), aims to better understand the involvement of the Bone morphogenetic protein signalling pathway in vascular development and vascular diseases. The lab generates cellular and animal models to further dissect disease processes and test new therapies. It collaborates closely with state-of-the art technological platforms based at the CEA and clinicians to provide viable and tangible knowledge-based improvements in health-care.

For the EU-MSCA-ETN project V.A. Cure, the lab invites applications for an Early Stage Researcher/PhD student position (ESR13). You will be part of a team of 14 ESRs working on the V.A. Cure project, which aims to uncover core mechanisms of initiation and maintenance of Vascular Anomalies with the final goal to establish novel therapeutic strategies. The project is funded in the frame of the EU MSCA-ITN programme.
Job description
You will work on a research project with the following objectives:
• Study the non-Smad signalling pathways in response to BMP9 and BMP10 (Proteomic, ChSeq)
• Study the crosstalk of BMP9/10 signalling with other vascular pathways (VEGF/Angiopoietin), flow, mechanotransduction
• Identify and test new therapeutic targets for vascular diseases, drug repurposing (high-through put sreening)
• Develop in vivo models for HHT to test new therapies
You will also take part in the international training programme of the network and participate in various networking and outreach events.
Requirements
We are looking for a motivated student with a strong commitment to basic and/or translational research, who:
• is eligible for MSCA-ETN funding, see Funding Notes.
• has a MSc degree in biology, physiology, biomedical sciences or related disciplines
• is a team player with good communication skills
Appointment terms
The successful candidate will receive an attractive salary in accordance with MSCA regulations for Early Stage Researchers. The period of employment is 3 years. Starting date: June – October 2019.
How to apply
