Job description

Institut Curie is a major player in cancer research and treatment. It comprises a hospital and a research center with over 1000 staff members and strong international representation.

The mission of the Institut Curie Research Center is to develop basic research and to use the knowledge produced to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics of cancers as part of the continuum between basic research and innovation serving the patient.

The Genetics and Developmental Biology Unit (BDD) at Institut Curie is a multidisciplinary department that, among other topics, studies tissue dynamics from the cellular to the organ scale during development. Research teams use fluorescence optical microscopy to visualize biological processes in real time in various organoids and animal models (Drosophila, zebrafish, and mouse). We are looking for an enthusiastic, curious, and service oriented Image Analysis Engineer (Bioimage Analyst).

You will work within the Cell and Tissue Imaging Platform (PICT) located in the BDD unit and collaborate with scientists from the unit and partner teams. Projects will span a wide range of activities, from implementing image analysis workflows to developing custom scripts, macros, or plugins, as well as in-depth collaborations involving full end-to-end analysis of research projects. You will join an imaging team of four people and report to the platform manager.

Main responsabilities
