The CIML is a world-class immunology institute with a tradition of high quality research. It provides an exceptional international research environment, with a renowned graduate program. The institute is currently composed of 250 members in 17 research groups and 13 core facilities. The CIML is located on a pluridisciplinary University campus and is affiliated with Inserm, the CNRS and Marseilles Hospitals. The CIML seeks to recruit new group leaders. While a particular attention will be given to projects addressing T- or B-cell biology, the CIML encourages applications from outstanding candidates interested in any aspect of human and model organism immunity including systems biology, pathology, genetics, cell biology and development. The CIML actively promotes equal opportunities; applications from female scientists are especially welcome.
Informal inquiries can be addressed to the director, Eric Vivier (vivier[at]ciml.univ-mrs.fr).

About CIML – Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy
Founded in 1976, the Centre d’Immunologie de Marseille-Luminy (CIML) has developed an organization and practices designed to foster the creativity of its researchers and supports high-risk research. In this it is helped by the fact that many researchers and research assistants, as well as support staff, hold fully tenured positions.
From Dictyostelium and C. elegans to mouse and man, from molecules to the whole organism, from physiology to pathology, the CIML addresses all areas of contemporary immunology. Current areas of research include the genesis of numerous cell populations, their modes of differentiation and activation, their implication in cancers, infectious and inflammatory diseases, and the mechanisms of cell death.
A global culture, world-class facilities
185 scientists, students and post-docs from 24 nations. On a multidisciplinary campus, home to 10,000 students, 2 university faculties, 32 research laboratories and 15 biotechnology companies, including four spun-out from the CIML. Access to a state-of-the art mouse facility (CIPHE, opening in summer 2012).
Breakthrough technologies and engineering including:
Large-scale immunophenotyping
Dynamic cell imaging
Bioinformatics
Design and production of monoclonal antibodies
An unrivaled working environment
The CIML is housed in a recent purpose-built facility. It is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty that stretches down to the Mediterranean sea. It is also within easy reach of the centre of Marseilles, chosen as European capital of culture for 2013. Direct flights connect Marseilles airport to most major European cities.
