The Juncker Lab at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, is seeking an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to work on an exciting NSERC-funded nanotechnology-based proteomics platform with a strong potential for commercialization. Applicants with tech transfer or industrial experience are strongly encouraged to apply. The platform consists of a novel immunoassay format capable of multiplexed and sensitive protein detection that was recently developed.

The two years post-doctoral position will be part of a project dealing with the biophysical study of asymmetric biological membranes in the context of plant defense mechanisms. The use of elicitors capable of stimulating plant defenses is a promising alternative to conventional chemical control and represents a major research area in the frame of the integrated protection development in agriculture. In this context, surfactin (SRF), a Bacillus secondary metabolite, has been proven to be of interest to trigger the plant defense mechanisms. Due to its amphiphilic character, SRF is likely to be perceived directly by the lipid constituents of the plant cell plasma membrane (PM). However, the detailed molecular mechanism is still elusive, and more particularly the question of the role of membrane asymmetry was never considered in the previous biophysical studies on SRFmembrane interactions

The development of microfluidics technology allowed to revisit the fabrication of emulsions and offers now an efficient tool for making well calibrated emulsion droplets. In
addition, to capability to encapsulate various components, to add process steps in serial, to parallelize droplet production and operations opened a new avenue for tailoring
microparticles from emulsion droplet template. These functional microparticles find application in biotechnology where a precise control of particles features, like size or binding
capacity, is needed.

Introduction et contexte – L’étude des propriétés originales de nanoparticules colloïdales synthétisées par voie chimique ainsi que leur intégration pour réaliser la zone active de dispositifs fonctionnels innovants requiert leur assemblage dirigé sur des zones parfaitement définies de surfaces solides ou flexibles. Depuis plusieurs années, l’équipe Nanotech du Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets (LPCNO- UMR 5215 INSA-CNRS-UPS) à Toulouse a développé une technique innovante, la nanoxérographie, répondant à ce défi.

Our project, funded by the French ANR (Agence National de la Recherche), aims at understanding the mechanisms driving the activity and complex dynamics of the Bacterial Flagellar Motor in its cellular context. The motor is a large and powerful protein complex found in the membrane of many motile bacteria. Consuming the energy of the Ion Motive Force (the trans-membrane potential built by the cell during respiration), it is responsible for rotation of flagella and propulsion of the cell.
