Etude Engineer: Human brain organoid vascularization on microchip, UMR 8640 PASTEUR, Department of Chemistry, Ecole Normale Supérieure, PSL University, Sorbonne Université, CNRS, Paris

Context

We are seeking for a highly motivated study engineer (ingénieur d’étude) who wishes to work
on an interdisciplinary and exploratory project. The project aims at developing a platform, in
which original microfluidic and micro-/nano-fabrication technologies are combined, to realize,
observe and characterize the
in-situ formation and microvascularization of human brain
organoids reconstituted on chips. Eligible applicants must have a master’s degree with a
particular interest in bioengineering, biomaterials, physical chemistry, soft matter,
neurobiology, and/or biophysics. Experience in cell culture, experimental soft matter and/or
microfluidics is highly appreciated. The successful applicant will work at Department of
Chemistry of Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) and at Institut Pierre-Gilles de Gennes pour la
Microfluidique (IPGG). ENS and IPGG are neighboring institutes in a dynamic scientific
environment in the heart of Paris, France.
