DETAILS OF THE OFFER | Synuclein diffusion analysis in neurons using event-based super-resolution microscopy. We are looking for a motivated candidate for a three-year PhD project funded by the COFUND programme LightInParis. The objective is to study the mobility of alpha-synuclein in neurons in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying its aggregation in the context of neurodegenerative pathologies. The description of these mechanisms will rely on the use of event-based super-resolution microscopy. The thesis is co-supervised by Christian Specht (DHNS, Inserm, Université Paris-Saclay, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France), Ignacio Izeddin and Clément Cabriel (Institut Langevin, ESPCI Paris, Université PSL, CNRS, Paris, France). The starting date of the fellowship is the 1st October 2025. Host institutes: DHNS (Inserm / Université Paris-Saclay), Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Institut Langevin (ESPCI Paris / PSL University / CNRS), Paris, France More information about the offer: https://lightinparis.eu/synuclein-diffusion-analysis-in-neurons-using-event-based-super-resolution-microscopy-seven https://lightinparis.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/COFUND_LightInParis_SPECHT.pdf More information about our research activities: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christian-Specht https://www.institut-langevin.espci.fr/clement_cabriel?lang=en https://www.institut-langevin.espci.fr/ignacio_izeddin?lang=en https://dhns-inserm.fr/res_amyloidopathies/ Eligibility criteria: The applicant needs to fulfil the MSCA-COFUND mobility rule.
