Open Position for Optical Engineer in Neurophotonics in Bordeaux
Position: Technician
Deadline: 1 March 2023
Employment Start Date: 1 February 2023
Contract Length: 2 years
City: Bordeaux
Country: France
Institution: University of Bordeaux / CNRS
Department: Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience
Description:
The Nägerl team at the University of Bordeaux (https://www.iins.u-bordeaux.fr/NAGERL) has an open position for an optical engineer to build, improve and use our super-resolution STED fluorescence microscopes.
The objective is to provide technical support for our team effort to visualize at the nanoscale the neuroanatomy and extracellular space of the mouse brain in vivo.
We are looking for someone with relevant experience in optics and a high affinity for technology and microscopy.
The job is part of a ERC-Synergy project with a long-term perspective and a dynamic workplace environment in a major European research center for neuroscience and photonics (https://www.bordeaux-neurocampus.fr/en/, https://light-st.u-bordeaux.fr).
