Description

PhD Position: Integrative Systems Biology of Aging and Functional Health

We are seeking a motivated candidate holding a Master’s degree (M2 or equivalent) with training in data analysis, data science, statistics, computational biology, or related quantitative disciplines, who wishes to apply to a competitive PhD funding program for a three-year doctoral project.
The research project focuses on the biological mechanisms of ageing and functional health, using integrative and multidisciplinary approaches. The work will involve the analysis and integration of biological and health-related data to better understand individual ageing trajectories and identify systemic markers associated with healthy ageing.
The PhD will be jointly supervised by two investigators: one based in Toulouse at the RESTORE laboratory (Isabelle Ader), providing expertise in physiology, geroscience, and biological mechanisms of ageing, and one based in New York, Alan Cohen (Columbia University, USA), whose laboratory is internationally recognized for its integrative and systems-level approaches to ageing and intrinsic health. This co-supervision offers strong international exposure and access to complementary and cutting-edge expertise in biological ageing research. As part of the project, the PhD candidate will undertake a 3–6 months research stay in Alan Cohen’s laboratory in New York, and regular scientific exchanges between Toulouse and New York will support the progress of the project. This project will be conducted in very close collaboration with the Institute of Aging of the Gérontopôle (Philippe Barreto team).
The successful candidate should demonstrate strong motivation for research, a clear interest in ageing and systems-level biology, and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary and international research environment.
