7 PhD positions in Strasbourg, France

The Laboratory of Excellence (LabEx) NetRNA PhD Program is based on a three-year intensive training with dedicated research investigations and active participation in diverse lectures and meetings.

The NetRNA consortium gathers eleven CNRS teams working on different aspects of gene regulation mediated by non-coding RNAs in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The general objective of the NetRNA network is to advance knowledge on functions of regulatory RNAs, mainly small non-coding RNAs, their targets and mechanisms in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. These regulatory RNAs will be integrated into the general network of gene expression in a variety of pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites) and of organisms such as plants, insects, and mammals. A special focus will be directed towards regulatory RNAs that play a role in development, stress-related responses, immune responses, host-pathogen interactions, and in human diseases.

2014 Applications are open for 7 PhDs in the following fields of RNA research.
