| Missions |  Our aim is to continue developing a sub-tipped characterisation bench, incorporating calcium imaging, operating in analogue, very low frequency and in real time, and adapted to measuring the electrical responses emitted by biological cells within new neuro-biohybrid systems. These systems enable bidirectional communication between artificial neurons and living neurons. This research is a flagship area for the laboratory.In this context, we are looking for a motivated, inquisitive person who knows how to work both in a group and independently, with solid knowledge of electronics, signal processing and characterisation in the very low frequency analogue domain (0-10KHz). For the candidate, this offer meets : - a desire to work on an interdisciplinary project at the interface between electronics and the living world - the desire to meet scientific challenges - the desire to develop a bench with international state-of-the-art performance Adaptability skills and an appetite for helping to develop new concepts will enable groups of researchers to work on health applications with the aim of developing palliative solutions for certain neurodegenerative diseases. |
| Activities | To develop a characterisation bench, operating at low frequencies, integrating calcium imaging, all in real time to highlight bidirectional communications between artificial neurons and living neurons.
To achieve this, the following are expected: This means knowing : |
| Qualifications: | - Engineering techniques and sciences (optics, mechanics, biology) (basic knowledge) - Techniques (electronics, control/command, instrumentation) (in-depth knowledge) - Metrology (in-depth knowledge); physical measurements - Written and oral presentation techniquesAnd there's more: - Ability to conceptualise - Critical thinking - Organisational skillsTraining courses may be offered and taken depending on needs and skills available. |
| Context: | The candidate will be based at the IEMN, which is one of the laboratories in the network of major Renatech centres in France. He/she will have full access to the various technical solutions needed to implement the project.
The IEMN brings together in a single structure the bulk of regional research in a vast scientific field ranging from the physics of materials and nanostructures to telecommunications systems and acoustic and microwave instrumentation. Particular emphasis is placed on micro and nanotechnologies (nanostructures and nanoelectronics, microelectronics, microwaves and microsystems). The position is located in a sector covered by the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival be authorised by the competent MESR authority. |
| Constraints and risks | - Presence of a laser for calcium imaging |
