Group Leaders
The Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) regularly recruits outstanding scientists to establish and lead independent research groups.
We welcome applications from ambitious researchers seeking to develop innovative research programmes within one of Europe’s leading multidisciplinary life science institutes.
Jointly operated by CNRS, INSERM and the University of Strasbourg, the institute offers a unique environment that combines the strengths of a major research institute with those of a leading European university.
An Exceptional Scientific Environment
Research at the IGBMC spans genetics, genomics, epigenetics, developmental biology, stem cell biology, structural biology, neuroscience, cancer biology, translational medicine, cell biology and bioinformatics. .
This breadth of expertise fosters interdisciplinary collaborations and creates opportunities for innovative research at the interfaces between traditional disciplines.
Group leaders benefit from access to a comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge technology platforms and national research infrastructure.
These include, in particular:
Building an Independent Research Programme
The IGBMC provides an environment designed to help scientists develop ambitious and internationally visible research programmes. Newly recruited investigators join a highly collaborative community and benefit from interactions with researchers from diverse scientific backgrounds, access to excellent technical infrastructure, and close integration within the University of Strasbourg, providing opportunities for teaching, mentoring, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
The institute actively supports its investigators in securing competitive national, European and international funding and encourages participation in major collaborative initiatives.
Career Opportunities
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact department heads or the institute’s scientific leadership to discuss potential opportunities.
