📜 Profile: Neuroscientist with a quantitative background (eng/comp sci/maths), with experience working with pixels, voxels and meshes, computational neuroanatomy, programming skills (Python, Javascript) and passion for brain development 🔗 DM for info! Spread the word! (10/10).

🧠🧬🔧If you are passionate about understanding brain morphogenesis across scales and modalities, this is a unique opportunity! This will be the first atlas of its kind, combining not only from molecular to connectivity data, but also brain mechanics! (9/10).

We love to combine neuroscience with data visualisation (2D, 3D, AR/VR), art, philosophy, and our lab is something of a hacker space (8/10)

🏛️ We're based in Paris – a major European research hub. Our lab combines cutting-edge science with a collaborative, open environment where we value open science and reproducible research (7/10).

We'd love to push the frontiers of data-sharing into distributed collaboration, and we've developed several tools for this, such as and where users can view and annotate histology or MRI data simultaneously and online (6/10)

💻 You will use advanced computational neuroanatomy tools to combine the different modalities into an integrated atlas. We will use this atlas to study the changes resulting from genetic and mechanical perturbations of folding (5/10).

🔬 Why ferrets? Ferrets are born with smooth and immature brains (they only open their eyes by the end of the 1st month!). Folding, corticocortical connectivity and arealisation all develop over the 1st month: a unique window into the development of a complex brain (4/10)

📊 The goal: to build a holistic, multi-scale atlas to link a wide range of modalities mapping cellular/molecular processes, global shape and connectivity, and mechanical changes during the period of brain folding in ferrets (3/10).

🌍 Unfold unites four international teams of experts in cellular, molecular, and mechanical processes to uncover the causes and consequences of brain folding. You’ll integrate diverse datasets - gene expression, mechanics, histology, MRI - to map ferret brain development. (2/10).

🧠 Come work with us! Our lab at @institutpasteur .looks for a postdoc to help us create the most complete open atlas of brain folding development! This is part of our ERC Synergy project Unfold (. Join us! (1/10)
