The Nicol & Fassier lab at the Vision Institute in Paris, France, is offering a postdoctoral position in developmental neuroscience and cell biology within the Mechanisms of sensory map development team. The project is part of the ANR-funded MASTERCIL programme and is led by Melody Atkins . It focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that guide accurate neuronal wiring, with a particular emphasis on the role of the primary cilium in neuronal migration. The team’s recent work suggests tha...

PhD opportunity in stem cells and limb regeneration at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and the Storer Group . The project focuses on cell biology and developmental biology , especially how mammals regenerate the digit tip and why humans can regenerate only limited tissues. The lab studies blastema formation , the transient proliferative cell mass that rebuilds the digit, and aims to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms that coordinate regenerati...

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join the “Physiological and Pathological Mechanisms of Cortical Development” team led by Dr. Juliette Godin at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, France. The project is supervised directly by Dr. Efil Bayam and is part of the ANR-funded SpeaDAT project , which investigates how species-specific dysfunction of the ADAT tRNA deaminase complex affects brain development. The successful candidate...

About this position

PhD thesis opportunity at Institut Curie, Paris in the Baffet lab, located in the Department of Cell Biology (UMR144). The project focuses on human neural stem cell lineages and the mechanisms that generate neuronal and glial diversity in the developing human neocortex.

The student will investigate how radial glial cells make fate decisions across cortical regions using a combination of human fetal tissue, regionalized cortical organoids, live/fixed correlative imaging, immunostaining, and single-cell transcriptomics. A key part of the work will be to observe radial glial divisions directly, identify daughter cell identities, and quantify proliferative, neurogenic, and gliogenic outcomes over space and time. The project also uses Live-seq to link the molecular state of individual living cells to their later developmental output.

This PhD is well suited to candidates with training in cell biology or developmental biology, and with practical experience in microscopy and cell culture. The advertisement states that previous laboratory experience is desirable. Applicants should have excellent English and French. The position emphasizes independent work, teamwork, and communication.

The contract is a doctoral contract for 3 years, full time, with a salary of €2,400 gross per month plus benefits including collective catering, reimbursement of transportation fees up to 70%, and supplementary health insurance. The project is associated with Horizon Europe - ERC. The start date is listed as the end of 2026, and the application deadline shown is 13 November 2026 (or until filled).

To apply, candidates should email a CV and letter of motivation to [email protected].
