Missions

As part of the OptiCEL project, the Center for Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies (C2N, UMR9001) is recruiting a design engineer who will be responsible for developing and fine-tuning cleanroom microfabrication processes for the production of micro-structured membranes, as well as conducting cell culture protocols..

Activités

Cleanroom microfabrication processes for the production of microstructured membranes based on biocompatible polymers. Microfabrication processes will focus on micromolding, lithography, etching and characterization techniques such as scanning electron microscopy.- Develop new micromolding processes to functionalize membranes from new biodegradable materials.- Participate in cell culture protocols: culture of human pluripotent stem cells, differentiation of these cells into retinal cells and their characterization (imaging, PCR, cytometry).

Compétences

General knowledge of cell biology. Skills in cell culture and biological sample analysis methods (microscopy, immunofluorescence, molecular biology methods, etc.) - Knowledge of micro- and nanofabrication, particularly deposition, etching and characterization techniques, will be appreciated. - General knowledge of chemistry. - Desired qualities: teamwork, autonomy, ability to learn new technologies, technology watch (scientific publications), presentation of results.

Contexte de travail

C2N is a joint unit (UMR9001) between CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay, organized into 4 departments and 2900 m2 cleanroom dedicated to micro-nanofabrication processes, growth, epitaxy and materials characterization. Founded in 2005, I-Stem is France's largest research and development laboratory dedicated to human pluripotent stem cells, either of embryonic origin or obtained by gene reprogramming. I-Stem is part of the Institut des Biothérapies des Maladies Rares, directly funded by AFM-Téléthon. In this context, the Design Engineer will work mainly in C2N's clean rooms to develop biocompatible microstructured membranes. In parallel with this activity, the successful candidate will work at CECS/I-Stem in Corbeil-Essonnes to conduct cell culture experiments in collaboration with another engineer.
