Contexte Et Mission
Research Project Bioimaging offers non-invasive analytical tools that have led to significant advances in biomedical research. Technological and methodological developments, along with those in imaging probe chemistry, particularly in the field of theranostics, have improved the sensitivity and specificity of images for early diagnosis and therapeutic purposes. The project involves carrying out these different steps from in vitro to in vivo models in the search for biomarkers, the development of diagnostics or therapies, using MRI techniques and preclinical optical imaging. These include the design, characterization, and evaluation of new imaging probes or formulations for biomedical research on pathologies of interest (cancer, ischemia, inflammation) in preclinical settings. MRI imaging methodologies combined with optical imaging are proposed to reveal specific contrasts and perform multiparametric image treatments and analyses. The Junior Professor will participate in the writing of national and international projects, be heavily involved in the development of technological platforms, and drive the valorization of the research produced by the team.

Teaching Project
The teaching project aims to transmit the basics of research and methodologies developed around bioimaging, a modern method increasingly widespread and favored for biomedical research in academic and industrial laboratories. It includes the description of the nature and formulation of molecular and nanoparticule imaging probes, their toxicity and therapeutic effects, physical bioimaging techniques (MRI, optics, ultrasound, PET, X-ray), classical analytical chemical and physicochemical characterization methods coupled with imaging techniques, and data and image processing and analysis. These teachings will be linked to the field of therapeutic research, particularly nanomedicine.
The teaching project format will include lectures, invitations to academic and industrial speakers, 7utorialls, and practical work in the existing master’s programs at Université PSL in Chemistry, Health Engineering, and engineering training at ENSCP. The Junior Professor will also be involved in Health Engineering training actions within the European University EELISA and in setting up courses at the Bachelor’s level at Université PSL.
The junior Professor will have a reduced teaching load during the pre-tenure period (minimum 64 hours TD per year, then a teaching load of 192 hours TD as a professor).
No additional courses or work can be undertaken during this period, which should be mainly devoted to research.
Selection and Auditions
The evaluation will be carried out by a committee composed of internal and external experts to PSL. The composition of the committee will be made public before its work.
The Pre-selected Candidates By The Committee, Based On The Examination Of The Files, Will Be Invited To An Audition In Two Parts
- A practical situation: the selected candidates will have to give a public seminar, open to all members of i-CleHS and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, during which they will present their current research work and future research projects. They will also be invited to exchange/discuss with various laboratory contacts for the research component and with the educational managers for the teaching component. (30 minutes and 10 minutes for questions)
- An audition in person or via videoconference with the recruitment committee. This audition will be an opportunity for the candidate to demonstrate their motivation, as well as the quality, relevance, and ambition of the proposed research and teaching projects. (45 minutes)
The practical situation and the audition will be conducted in English.
Provisional audition period: October-November 2025
Evaluation Criteria
- Excellence of the candidate, motivation, supervision capacity
- Quality, ambition, and originality of the research and teaching projects
- Integration of the project within the laboratory
- Ability to establish collaborative networks
- Adequacy of the means to the proposed project and ability to mobilize additional resources
Diplômes Requis
Candidates must hold a doctorate and have a research record including high-impact publications in fields relevant to the job profile. Significant international experience is desirable.
Rémunération
The gross annual salary will be €43,714 during the pre-tenure period. This salary is slightly negotiable
