The researcher will be responsible for cloning and expressing genes encoding DNA-modifying enzymes for their sustainable production (from atmospheric CO₂ and light) in various genetically manipulable model cyanobacteria.

Molecular biology (PCR, cloning, sequencing, etc.)
Microbiology (growth, transformation, conjugation in cyanobacteria, etc.)
Enzyme extraction and purification; activity assay.
Drafting of protocols and procedures.

The researcher will be assigned to the Institute of Integrative Cell Biology (I2BC) on the CNRS campus in Gif-sur-Yvette. The I2BC is a joint research unit of the CNRS (UMR 9198), the CEA, and Paris-Saclay University, comprising nearly 650 people across 43 research teams and 17 high-tech platforms. The researcher will be part of the Department of Microbiology within the Cyanobacteria Biology and Biotechnology team, which consists of two researchers, one associate professor, one emeritus researcher, and one doctoral student.
