Research Engineer Position for 2 Years Renewable in Optics at the Emiliani Lab at the Vision Institute in Paris
The Wavefront engineering microscopy group at the Vision Institute in Paris (http://www.institut-vision.org/fr/wavefront-engineering-microscopy.html) has an open position for a 2-year research engineer.In the past years, the
Wavefront engineering microscopy
group has pioneered the use of wavefront shaping approaches (computer generated holography, generalized phase contrast, temporal focusing) to deliver patterned light into brain tissue, thus enabling simultaneous activation of multiple neurons and independently controlling the strength and timing of light targeted to each cell. Today, the group disposes of several state-of-the-art in vitro and in vivo optical microscopes which use wavefront shaping for
in vitro
and
in vivo
two-photon imaging and photostimulation. Recently, the group has started to set up a common facility for 2P-optogenetics in collaboration with the company 3i and a new microscope combining conventional 2P imaging with endoscopy.These systems are currently used in a large number of collaborative projects for the investigation of neuronal circuits in optically and physiologically different models including mice retina, mammalian cortex and brainstem respiratory circuits, Zebrafish, and Drosophila larvae.Job ProfileThe candidate will be in charge of:Setting up the new microscopes and maintaining the existing ones;Coordinating and performing experiments with different collaborators;Managing the platform (planning of access to the platform; adaptation of the microscope to users’ needs);Supporting and following up on technology transfer to academic partners.Requirements:We are seeking a motivated candidate with a PhD in Physics, with demonstrated experience in imaging and optical microscopy, willing to join an interdisciplinary environment involving strong interactions between biologists and physicists. Transversal know-how includes presentation of data at international conferences, knowledge of the English language, and ability to synthesize and write scientific documents.2 years, renewable. Earlier starting date is February 1st, 2021.Please include the following information:
