Horizon Europe - ERC Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description The “advanced microscopies and tissue physiology” group at the Laboratory for Optics and Biosciences (LOB), Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France, is seeking one postdoctoral scientist with advanced experience in wavefront control, multiphoton microscopy, and interest in interdisciplinary biomicroscopy research. The successful candidate will develop approaches for imaging of live and thick samples. In particular, based on an existing 2- and 3-photon microscopy platform ( Ferrer Ortas, Light Sci App 2023 ; Guesmi, Light Sci App 2018 ), the project will explore adaptive optics strategies to improve in-depth, longitudinal, and multicontrast imaging in zebrafish and mice. Ecole Polytechnique is located in the Paris-Saclay area, 25 km South from Paris. The LOB has extensive expertise in multiphoton imaging, and develops advanced microscopy and bioimage informatics approaches for studying developing tissues. The selected person will have access to optics rooms with functional prototypes, state-of-the art femtosecond sources, local workshops, biology facilities, and storage/computing servers. He/she/they will have daily contacts with 3-4 persons, weekly meetings with the LOB microscopy group, and interactions with biologist collaborators.
