PhD and Postdoc Positions in Microscopy in China

This post-doctoral project at Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) in Lille focuses on the experimental study of recrystallization kinetics in electrical steels during annealing after cold rolling. The postdoc will generate experimental data to support and validate a mean-field recrystallization model developed within the OPTES project. The work is embedded in a collaborative consortium involving the University of Ghent and OCAS. The research is strongly experimental and centered...

This postdoctoral project at CNRS focuses on the self-assembly and dynamics of nanoparticles in liquid crystal blue phase matrices . The research aims to understand how inserting nanoparticles can stabilize blue phases, extend their temperature range, and modify their structure and properties. The project is centered on soft-matter physico-chemistry, with particular attention to blue-phase liquid crystals that are attractive for light-based applications such as display technologies because they ...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Ecole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris and focuses on experimental research in active matter. The project aims to understand the physical mechanisms of self-regulation in active systems using reconstituted active nematics built from cytoskeleton components. The researcher will investigate how mobile inclusions interact with an active environment, with special attention to the reciprocal effects between the inclusion...

The CytoMorpho Lab at the Ecole supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la Ville de Paris is offering a two-year postdoctoral contract focused on how microtubule dynamics and microtubule transport contribute to the formation of functional cellular networks. The project aims to follow microtubule movements and experimentally manipulate the abundance and localization of molecular motors in order to understand a contribution that is described here as still poorly understood: the role o...

This PhD project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) focuses on RNA-based plant protection, with an emphasis on spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) as a strategy to combat crop diseases. The work explores how externally applied double-stranded RNA can reduce pathogen gene expression and how RNA reaches target organisms, is taken up, and remains biologically active. The doctoral student will develop and evaluate SIGS approaches against wheat leaf blotch caused by Zymoseptoria...

Research Associate position in the laboratory of Dr. Jeannie Chen at the Zilkha Neurogenetic Institute, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. The project centers on phototransduction in rod and cone photoreceptors and the biological mechanisms that drive retinal degeneration and blindness . The lab uses rodent models and cell culture to investigate photoreceptor function, calcium signaling, inherited retinal diseases, GPCR biology, and protein misfolding and aggregati...

This PhD opening is part of a predoctoral research contract at the Autonomous University of Madrid , within the Faculty of Science and the Department of Condensed Matter Physics . The project is titled “Super-resolution visualization of ion dynamics in disordered solid-state electrolytes” and focuses on understanding how ions move inside disordered solid-state electrolyte materials. The successful candidate will join a research environment centered on condensed matter physics, nanoscience and bi...

Chalmers University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Langhammer Group in the Division of Chemical Physics. The project combines nanofluidics, nanophotonics and heterogeneous catalysis to investigate catalytic processes at the level of individual nanoparticles. The research will use nanofluidic reactors together with nanofluidic scattering microscopy to study catalyst nanoparticles localized inside nanochannels. The project will examine whether light scattering can q...

This PhD project explores single-molecule nanophotonics and plasmonics through the use of metallic nanocavities, metasurfaces and two-dimensional materials to confine light and enhance light–matter coupling at the nanoscale. The research focuses on detecting and spectroscopically analysing mid-infrared signatures of individual molecules. Molecular vibrations provide chemical fingerprints, while molecular frequency upconversion converts absorbed mid-infrared photons into visible photons that can ...
