Position Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated and creative scientist to join the Immunology and Inflammation Research Therapeutic Area as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Sanofi, redefining R&D with Immunoscience. This position will work with the Type 2 Inflammation research team towards increasing our biological understanding of the role of IL-4/IL-13 and mechanism of action of Dupixent in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps to contribute to differentiation strategies in the competitive landscape via communicating research discoveries through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at scientific conferences. The fellow will also have an opportunity to contribute significantly to the preclinical research efforts directed towards enhancing our biological and therapeutic understanding of assets in clinical development or life cycle management for multiple indications. The successful candidate’s research will primarily focus on analyzing human polyp and/or nasal tissue biopsies and involve behavioral analyses in murine models, imaging, cell-based assays, molecular techniques, and multi-omics approaches.

The ideal candidate will have strong laboratory experience and technical expertise in histopathological evaluation, murine models of olfactory dysfunction/smell, neuronal and/or immune cell culture and functional assays, and gene expression analysis. The candidate should be able to scientifically lead and execute preclinical research work, analyze, and present data, and have an ability to utilize excellent technical, written, and oral communication skills, and effectively collaborate in a team environment. The candidate will be curious in exploring new paths for scientific discoveries and bold in proposing creative experimental designs and ideas.
