We are recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow to join an internationally funded, collaborative research program focused on Plasmodium falciparum liver-stage infection. The project combines cellular and genetic approaches in advanced in vitro human hepatocyte systems to identify host determinants of infection, with the long-term aim of informing translational malaria prevention strategies. The postdoctoral fellow will contribute to loss-of-function and image-based high-throughput screening studies and analyze infection phenotypes, while working closely with international collaborators in a highly interactive research environment.

Strong experience in mammalian cell culture is essential. Experience with parasite handling and mosquito dissection is an advantage.

The work will be conducted primarily at Institut Pasteur, which offers access to state-of-the-art core facilities, including imaging, automated screening, and vector production platforms, within a stimulating and well-supported research environment.

The position is available for an initial one-year term and is renewable. The candidate will have the opportunity to develop independent funding applications with mentoring and institutional support.

Applications should include a CV, a brief cover letter, and the contact details of two referees, and should be sent to liliana.manciopasteur.fr .
