The position is open to candidates with a PhD or Master’s degree in Engineering or Technologies related to biology, supported by at least three years of tracked record experience. The candidate will be in charge of the design, development and implementation of new tools and platform facilities, required for the research projects of the plant biology research teams of BIAM. He/she will supervise and ensure the operation and technological evolution of existing equipment, in particular the ‘Imaplant’ phenotyping chamber(s). The person recruited will be expected to apply for grants for the funding of new equipment.

The candidate should have strong expertise in the fields of instrumentation, physical measurements, hardware and software programming used in automation, industrial vision and computing. A strong interest or academic background in biology and plant science is an essential asset. The ability to interact with researchers as well as with the platform staff is of key importance. The person recruited will also be expected to write grant proposals and will therefore also need good oral communication and writing skills.

A good command of English is important. French is needed in the laboratory and to facilitate the insertion in the social life.
