PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Microscopy in France

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is part of an ANR project on the fabrication and study of nonlinear dielectric nanoresonators produced by laser processing . The research aims to optimize laser-based fabrication methods for powders or substrates, then investigate the resulting structures through morphological and optical characterization. The recruited researcher will work on both linear and nonlinear optical properties of the fabricated resonators and on their use to develop nonlinear disorde...

This post-doctoral research position at Inserm is part of an ANR-funded project focused on understanding a factor involved in the pathological proliferation of retinal blood vessels and on developing neutralizing therapeutic agents . The successful researcher will join a project centered on retinal vascular biology and experimental therapeutic development. The work is described as being carried out mainly on the mouse retina , with hands-on laboratory activities that include tissue preparation a...

This postdoctoral position at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) is focused on the molecular study of UCP1 mutants that are described as hyperactivated. The project combines complementary experimental approaches to understand the properties of these variants at both the biochemical and cellular levels. The successful researcher will work on a set of interconnected tasks spanning protein purification , cryo-EM structural analysis , molecular dynamics , cell transfection , met...

This postdoctoral project is hosted by the Nanobio team at ISMO , within a joint CNRS / Université Paris-Saclay unit, and is part of the European ERC TimeNanoLive project. The work focuses on pushing the limits of fluorescence lifetime microscopy and single-molecule localization microscopy to observe living biological systems and nanostructures dynamically. The recruited researcher will help develop a new time-resolved fluorescence lifetime measurement approach that is closely connected to singl...

This postdoctoral project is centred on real-time, operando and in situ monitoring of chemical cross-talk in lithium-ion batteries . The successful candidate will develop and apply a new coupled spectro-electrochemical technique to characterise how redox species generated at the positive electrode migrate toward the negative electrode and influence its behaviour during battery operation. The work combines an electrochemical sensor approach with confocal microscopy using Raman and fluorescence . ...

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...
