2 PostDoc positions in Bioinformatics (Transcriptomics/Imaging) or Stem cell-derived retinal organoids

We are seeking 2 creative, motivated and highly independent postdoctoral fellows to lead new research projects in our lab at the Vision Institute in Paris:

one with a strong expertise in bioinformatics (cell profiling or image analysis) and one with expertise in hiPSCs and stem cell-derived organoids.

These positions are fully funded for 3-5 years. Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications.

As a postdoc in our team, you will have access to state-of-the-art imaging and cell biology resources and collaborate with researchers and clinicians in both embryology and 3D microscopy. You will have the unique opportunity to work on interdisciplinary and international projects that span imaging, transcriptomics, proteomics, organoids, addressing important questions in the field of visual system development, evolution and embryology. Candidates should have proven research productivity as demonstrated by publications.
