Type of contract CDD
Location Paris, France
Statut Available
Key Words Microglia, Synapse plasticity, Imaging
Details of the offer
Working place: Institute of Biology of the Ecole normale supérieure
Missions:
Microglial cells dynamically survey the brain parenchyma. In the healthy brain, microglia have active housekeeping functions and are now acknowledged as genuine regulators of neuronal functions. The project will study the bidirectional microglia-neuron interaction with a focus on synapse plasticity, building on our previous results1,2.
The post-doc will develop and apply advanced imaging techniques combined with high-standard cell-biology and in-vivo approaches to investigate the dynamic and reciprocal functional interactions between synapses and microglia.
The Triller lab, offers a stimulating and rigorous setting for scientific growth and the development of independent research careers.
The Institute of Biology of ENS is a leading biology institute in Europe that gathers world-class researchers from fields including Genetics & Genomics, Cell & Developmental biology, Evolution, and Neuroscience. Located in the heart of Paris, the institute is near other prestigious research institutions, providing opportunities for collaboration. (Institut Curie, Collège de France, ESPCI...).
