A 2-years post-doctoral position

Mechanosensitive channels

A 24-month post-doctoral position in the area of ion channel physiology funded by the French

National Research Agency (ANR) is available starting April 2010. The host group “Membrane

Transporters and Signalling” (http://www.isv. cnrs-gif. fr/veranglais/ research/ hbba/hbba. html)

belong to the “Institut des Sciences du Végétal” (ISV) located on the CNRS campus of Gif sur

Yvette, at 30 km south west of Paris .

Although plants respond to a wide variety of mechanical stimuli, and many mechanosensitive

channel activities have been characterized in plant membranes using the patch-clamp method, the

molecular nature of mechanoperception in plant systems has remained elusive. We recently showed
