Postdoctoral position in Silicone Phantoms for Surgery Training at CNRS / Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, France. This full-time postdoc is part of the 3DPhantom project, an interdisciplinary effort focused on developing new training techniques for micro-robot-assisted microsurgery . The work centers on creating customizable kidney-tumor organ models for partial nephrectomy training, with the long-term goal of replacing animals and cadavers in surgical training. The research combines chemistry ...

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...

Adolfo B. Poma’s group at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences is advertising postdoc and PhD positions in computational biophysics . The project focuses on the molecular mechanisms governing the transition of intrinsically disordered protein (IDP) condensates into amyloid-like fibrils , a process relevant to the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases . The research combines advanced computational modeling with experimental microscopy data in a mult...
