Posted on 9 February 2026
Location: France
Closing Date: 1 April 2026
We are pleased to advertise a fully funded postdoctoral position within the MicroscopIA project, an ambitious interdisciplinary initiative aiming to build a next-generation intelligent microscope combining open hardware, real-time AI-driven feedback, and adaptive 3D imaging.
The recruited postdoc will play a central role in the design and construction of the microscope, working at the interface of optical instrumentation, computer science, and biology, in a highly stimulating research environment based in Montpellier, France.
The position is available from May 1st, 2026, for a total duration of 4 years.
Please feel free to circulate this announcement to potential candidates who may be interested.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information.
