  Description du sujet:
• We are looking for multiple talented students to join our fully funded PhD projects aimed at studying how two recently discovered and oppositely acting transcriptional regulators control metabolism in the Drosophila larval fat body (the equivalent of vertebrate adipose tissue and liver) and muscle, with a special attention on metabolic paths linked to fat accumulation. The study will combine genomics, genetic and nutritional manipulations to highlight crosstalk between genetic and environmental control of fat accumulation.
• The PhD projects will be carried out in the team of A. Saurin and Y. Graba at the Marseille Institute for Developmental Biology (IBDM), with leading expertise in cell and molecular biology, bioinformatics, image analysis and quantitative biology approaches. The Institute is located at the Aix-Marseille University Luminy Campus in the picturesque Calanques National Park in Marseille, France.

The Marseille Institute of Developmental Biology (IBDM), overseen by the CNRS (National Scientific Research Centre) and the AMU (Aix-Marseille University), hosts about twenty teams whose research is primarily oriented towards the understanding of how an embryo develops in an adult organism.

The teams aim, in particular, at exploring how defects during this process may occur and initiate various pathologies. By investigating how such aberrations may be corrected, we provide keys for therapeutic interventions. Our results lead to patents, and some of our researchers are founders of start-up.

The IBDM also has the mission to train the future generation of researchers.

To this end, our laboratories welcome a large number of students for internships or PhDs, as well as young researchers (post-docs), from all over the world.

We host students and scientists from all over the world.

The IBDM has produced a Welcome Pack to help newcomers settle in Marseille, and dedicated staff guide them through the various administrative steps.

PhD students are supported by a PhD committee throughout their thesis with regular meetings to assess project progression, integration, and well-being.

As a diverse international community, all our activities and internal communication are in English. Every week, IBDM scientists gather for internal seminars to discuss their work. We also invite international speakers on various topics all year-long through our external seminar program.

In addition, we have many opportunities to informally discuss science and the institute life through social events such as our monthly Late sessions, Breakfast sessions, Institute retreats, & summer picnics.
