The COFUND FP-DYNAMO-PARIS programme (federating three major French Institutions such as the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimiqe, the École Normale Supérieure and the Collège de France) offers a unique interdisciplinary environment and a fundamental research initiative in the centre of Paris. The goal of the research programme is to integrate knowledge on gene expression, structural and membrane biology, and bioenergetics in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria in the general context of improving our understanding the biogenesis of energy-transducing membranes. These studies will involve cutting-edge technologies including structural biology (NMR, X-ray crystallography and CryoEM), RNA sequencing, mass-spectrometry, synthetic biology, microfluidics, computational modelling and visualization. 13 Postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity of developing their research projects in a dynamic scientific environment covering three main research themes: I) RNA biology from bacteria to chloroplasts, II) Membrane system dynamics and III) computational modelling of molecular assemblies.
