A post-doctoral position is available to study the adaptation of Caenorhabditis elegans to chemical stresses. The aim of the project is to identify key genes involved in the response of organisms to chemicals and the physiological function of these genes. First, after treatments of C elegans with different chemicals, the expression profile of the genes will be determined with the help of DNA chips. We will especially focus our attention on 'unexpected genes' (i.e. genes not known to be involved in chemical stress adaptation) and on cytochromes P450. Second, we will determine the function of several genes in the adaptation to chemicals and in the nematode physiology. It is expected from this work to enlight response pathways to various classes of chemicals. The lab is equipped to rear and transform C elegans and familiar with most of the molecular biology technics. The successful candidate will work in a group composed of 2 scientists and a technician. He/she should have a PhD or equivalent and be experienced with C elegans and molecular biology. The candidates should send (mail or email) a CV and names/addresses/phone number/email addresses for 2 references to : Dr. Marcel Amichot SVE-INRA, BP 2078, 123 Bd. F. Meilland, 06606 ANTIBES cedex, France amichot@antibes.inra.fr The lab is located in Antibes (French Riviera) and is composed of 7 scientist and 5 technicians. We are interested in the adaptation of the invertebrates to chemical stresses, in insecticide resistance and the consequences of these phenomenoms on the populations. All of the molecular biology and biochemistry techniques or the facilities necessary for the project are available. The post-docs is granted for one year renewable and can start in October, 1999 (french people cannot apply). M.
