Outstanding candidates are invited to apply for an independent group leader position in any of the 12 scientific departments on its campus in Paris, France.

Institut Pasteur is a non-profit private foundation dedicated to fundamental, interdisciplinary research and to the translation of knowledge for applications in medicine and public health (https://research.pasteur.fr/en/departments/). Located in central Paris, it offers an outstanding and unparalleled research environment with state-of-the-art research laboratories, and 20 technology platforms, including a core facility with four cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopes allowing single particle analysis and cellular tomography.

Successful junior candidates* will be appointed with a permanent position, and as head of a group of 6 people. These groups will be created for a period of 5 years and may thereafter compete for a full research group.

Highly attractive packages to match the experience of the candidate will be provided, including institutional salaries (Principal investigator, technician, post-doctoral fellows), a substantial contribution to running costs and equipment, access to on campus state-of-the-art technology core facilities, as well as support for relocation expenses and administrative issues.
