Skills/Qualifications

We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with validated experience in cell biology or biophysics and in cellular imaging. Training in cell culture, biochemistry and molecular cell biology, as well as in optics and fluorescence microscopy is necessary. Any experience or background in membrane trafficking, cell signalling, optogenetics, micromanipulation (optical tweezers, AFM, micropipettes), micropatterning, traction force microscopy or migration assays would be ideal. Knowledge in programming and image analysis (Python, Matlab, ImageJ, Labview) will be a plus. Applications from candidates with a strong track-record of publications in peer-reviewed journals, a PhD in either biology or physics and 0-3 years of relevant postdoctoral experience will be considered. A high personal motivation to develop a challenging project is required. The working language is English. The 2-year position is funded by a grant from the French funding agency ANR (MECHANGOLGI project) with potential extension and covers social benefits. The project involves collaborations with the groups of Sandrine Etienne-Manneville (Institut Pasteur, Paris) and Bruno Goud and Stéphanie Miserey (Institut Curie, Paris). The position is to start between November 2023 and the first months of 2024.
