ASSISTANT ENGINEER IN MOLECULAR AND CELLULAR BIOLOGY

Our group studies the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of neural networks, with a particular focus on the development of the visual system. We also apply this knowledge to develop potential regenerative therapeutic strategies for eye diseases such as glaucoma.

The research team

The Sensory and Motor Circuits Development team at the Institut de la Vision (Paris) is seeking an engineering assistant to start in September 2026. The Institut de la Vision is part of Sorbonne University, Inserm, and the CNRS, and offers a multidisciplinary environment that includes teams active in a variety of fields ranging from developmental biology to theoretical neuroscience and the development of retinal prostheses.

• development of molecular tools for cell biology
• culture of cell lines to characterize the tools produced in living cells
• use of microscopy techniques to analyze the results obtained
• cell line management, including genotyping activities
• These activities will be supplemented by participation in the team’s organizational tasks, including maintaining the plasmid library and monitoring and managing laboratory supplies.

Skills required

• Experience in molecular biology is a plus.
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team of about twenty people is essential.
• Attention to detail, adaptability, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Fluency in English is a plus, but not required.
