PhD in Synthetic Cells, Coacervate Micro-Compartments, and Bioenergy Production CNRS in France

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, offers a unique PhD opportunity focused on the structural study of the stratum corneum lipid interfaces. This project aims to advance our understanding of the human skin’s primary barrier, the stratum corneum, by investigating the interface between corneocytes and intercellular lipids using state-of-the-art neutron diffraction, neutron reflectometry, and advanced optical microscopy techniques. The research is fundamentally o...

ESPCI Paris - PSL is offering a postdoctoral position in microfluidics within the Laboratory of Biochemistry team led by Prof. Andrew Griffiths. ESPCI is a highly multidisciplinary French Grande École d’Ingénieurs and internationally recognized research institution in Paris, with strong activity at the interface of physics, chemistry, and biology. The project is embedded in FLU-PREDICT, where the laboratory is responsible for developing and optimizing a droplet-based microfluidic platform to hel...

PhD position in Biophysics at CNRS in Marseille, France, focused on the physical mechanisms of tissue morphogenesis in Drosophila . The project is hosted at the Institut de Biologie du Développement de Marseille (IBDM) and co-supervised across IBDM and IUSTI . The research asks how changes in internal pressure drive rapid head eversion during pupal development. The work combines confocal microscopy , electron microscopy , in vivo pressure measurements, tissue mechanics, perturbations of muscle a...
