Job description

If you’ve worn a pair of glasses, we’ve already met.

We are a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of ophthalmic lenses, frames, and sunglasses. We offer our industry stakeholders in over 150 countries access to a global platform of high-quality vision care products such as the Essilor brand, with Varilux, Crizal, Eyezen, Stellest and Transitions, iconic brands that consumers love such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Persol and Oliver Peoples, as well as a network that offers consumers high-quality vision care and best-in-class shopping experiences such as Sunglass Hut, LensCrafters, and Target Optical, and leading e-commerce platforms.

Job Scope & Responsabilities :

To accelerate the development of new science-based technologies in a strategic sector, EssilorLuxottica is strengthening its expertise in biochemistry and neuroscience. As part of a joint team composed of academics and EssilorLuxottica, this position aims to investigate, primarily through designing experiments, data collection and analysis, the biochemical and neural mechanisms in the retina that are involved in myopia control. More specifically, the goal is to study the dynamics of biological processes that regulate eye growth, including signal detection, transmission, and associated signaling cascades. The position requires a detailed understanding of the biochemical and physical phenomena at stake at the sub-cellular level. The protocols and experimental techniques will be developed with experts from cross-disciplinary domains.

A- To contribute to innovation by managing a research program

• Contribute to research on the mechanisms underlying eye growth, from tissues to genetics, by developing a methodology (i.e., experimental design + data analysis framework) in collaboration with academic partners.
• Translate and apply acquired knowledge to maximize the effectiveness of treatments for slowing the progression of myopia.

B- To communicate internally and externally, by oral and written modalities

• Participate in scientific conferences and write publications for peer-reviewed journals.
• Strengthen product credibility and intellectual property positions by capitalizing on the potential value of our discoveries.

Candidate Profile :

• Biochemistry, data analysis, neuroscience.
• Experimental research on biochemistry and neuroscience.
• Biomedical research.
• Problem solving skills, application oriented.
• Ability to work with multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to present scientific contents to peers (experts in the field).
• Ability to present to non-expert audiences.
