Offer Description

About the PhD position:

A PhD at the MIC has nothing to do with a typical PhD. You will be immersed in a start-up with a strong entrepreneurial and innovative spirit.

Your mission:

To bring a new product to the market before the end of your PhD. Besides the science, you will learn how to identify a market, get in touch with end-users, and translate their needs and requirements into a real product.

This experience will allow you to learn the basics of entrepreneurship and market-driven research.

 

The scientific project:

Development and implementation of closed loop microfluidic circuits for new generation Imaging Flow Cytometry, including instrumentation surpassing the state-of-the-art with high precision pressure control for the delivery of cell samples in suspension. Development of a microfluidic system for flow-through surface functionalization of microdevices with novel polymers having refractive index matching that of water.

Funding category: Financement de l'Union européenne
MSCA Doctoral Network
PHD Country: France


Requirements
Specific Requirements

Your profile to become the rockstar of the team:

➔ You have a masters degree (or equivalent) in biochemistry, chemistry, cell biology, engineering (bioengineering, mechatronics, robotics, engineering physics etc.) or related fields.

➔ Fluency in English

➔ Ideally experience with one or more of the following:

Biochemistry
Cell culture
Microfluidics
Python
Process chemistry
CFD simulations
3D CAD

➔ Ideally knowledge of French, but not required.

➔ You are scientifically rigorous, creative and practical.

➔ You can think “outside the box” to find simple solutions to complicated problems, you are not afraid to tackle complex problems.

➔ You don’t like routine, and you’re able to quickly adapt to changes in direction.

➔ You want a job that makes sense, want to see the outcome of your PhD in the real world and not only on a lab shelf.

➔ At the MIC, we like: Action; creative, autonomous and curious people, team players. Those who act more than they talk, people who challenge themselves and yet care about others. Those who question themselves, those who want an intense and contrasted life. Those who bring us treats.
