About this position

INEM - Institut Necker Enfants Malades in Paris is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the MEMBRAMICS lab, led by Etienne Morel, to work on cell biology, intercellular communication, membrane dynamics, and extracellular vesicles.

The project investigates how melanin particles mediate communication between skin cells and how inflammation changes pigment fate and signaling in the skin. The work combines cell and molecular biology, advanced imaging, transcriptomics, flow cytometry, and 2D/3D human skin models.

The institute is located on the Necker campus in central Paris and offers access to state-of-the-art facilities in imaging, genomics, histology, bioinformatics, and proteomics.

Eligibility: applicants should hold a PhD in molecular and cellular biology, ideally obtained within the past four years, with experience or strong interest in membrane dynamics, extracellular vesicle biology, organelle biology, microscopy, and/or advanced cellular models. Strong English communication skills and a collaborative, creative mindset are emphasized.

Start date: early 2027 at the latest. Application deadline: end of September 2026.

How to apply: submit a single PDF with a CV (max 2 pages), cover letter (1 page), and contact details for 2 referees by email.
