About this position

This postdoctoral position is hosted at the PMMH, the Laboratory of Physics and Mechanics of Heterogeneous Media (UMR 7636 CNRS–ESPCI–PSL–Sorbonne Université–Université Paris Cité), in Paris. The project sits at the interface of fluid mechanics, soft matter physics and environmental microbiology, and focuses on how microplastics interact with microorganisms in flowing environments.

The postdoctoral researcher will study the hetero-aggregation of microplastics with microorganisms, quantifying how microplastics and hydrodynamic conditions influence biofilm development and the structure of the resulting aggregates. The work will rely on an in-development microfluidic and acoustofluidic platform designed for culture, observation and manipulation of the objects under study.

Day-to-day research will involve setting up and optimizing experimental protocols for microorganism culture in microfluidic flow, preparing and characterizing model microplastic suspensions, and carrying out hetero-aggregation experiments. The project also includes microscopy-based monitoring of biofilm formation, image analysis to quantify biofilm structure and growth, and analysis of gene expression linked to the culture conditions.

The postdoc will work within Alice Pelosse’s team at PMMH and collaborate closely with Olivier Espeli’s team at the Centre interdisciplinaire de recherche en biologie, Collège de France, for microbiology-related aspects such as biofilms and bacterial genetics. The position also includes participation in the laboratory’s scientific life, article writing and conference presentations.
