PhD interdisciplinary position on the genetic determinants of motor specialization

Type of contract CDD

Location Saclay, France

Status available

The candidate will integrate quantitative 3D histology and tissue biomechanics, oculomotor behavioral tests in mutant mice, and mathematical modeling, to develop a predictive multiscale framework linking muscle structure to coordinated motor outputs. By establishing how tissue architecture constrains oculomotor performance, this work will transform not only our understanding of the oculomotor system but also provide a generalizable framework for interrogating complex neuromuscular systems.
