About our R&D Institute in Paris Saclay

At the heart of one of the world's top eight innovation clusters, the Servier R&D Institute at Paris-Saclay is where visionary science meets a powerful global ecosystem. By uniting our Group's innovation potential with this prestigious center of excellence, we are not only accelerating the future of therapeutic discovery but also championing the global influence of French research.

This three-year postdoctoral position will investigate the mechanisms by which colorectal cancer cells resist immune cytokine pressure and identify approaches to enhance cytokine-induced tumor-cell killing. The project combines mechanistic biology, functional genomics and translational cancer models to characterize sensitivity and resistance mechanisms in IFN/TNF signaling and cell-death pathways, and to generate therapeutic and biomarker hypotheses with translational potential.

Main responsibilities

1. Design and execute relevant in vitro and in vivo experiments to advance the research project.
2. Analyze and interpret experimental data and recommend appropriate next steps.
3. Review scientific literature and integrate relevant findings into project decisions.
4. Present project progress and data in internal scientific and project meetings.
5. Manage priorities, timelines and resources to support efficient project execution.
6. Contribute to collaborative projects within the Immuno-Oncology portfolio and share learnings across programs.
7. Contribute to the identification and evaluation of potential therapeutic targets.

Profile

• PhD in cancer biology, tumor immunology, cell-death biology, molecular biology, functional genomics or a related discipline.
• Experience with oncology models and/or cytokine signaling is an advantage.
• Expertise in mammalian cell culture and quantitative cell-based assays.
• Experience with cancer cell models and with one or more of the following: CRISPR-based perturbation or screening, flow cytometry, immunoblotting, or analysis of signaling and cell-death pathways.
• Experience with organoids or patient-derived models is a plus.
• Excellent written and oral English.
• Ability to drive a research project with scientific independence, organize priorities, collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary teams, and communicate results clearly to scientific and project stakeholders.
• Autonomous, proactive, rigorous, collaborative and innovative.
