FBI opens a call for the recruitment of its next Scientific Director

(2020-2025)

(Deadline is 1^st of May)

France BioImaging-FBI (laureate of the INBS program of the PIA in 2011) is the National Research Infrastructure in Biological Imaging.  FBI is built on five geographical Nodes identified on the basis of strong relationship between developers of new imaging approaches (R&D labs) and large imaging Core Facilities, answering the IBiSA criteria. Each Node shows a specialization of a local expertise in main biological topics. This crossover between imaging technologies and expertise in scientific topics is a characteristic of the complementarity between FBI Nodes. A 6^th Transversal Node gathers FBI strengths and resources in Image Analysis and DATA management. The Operating Coordination is insured by the UMS 3714.

Our motto is “Innovation-Training-Access”

(i) Disseminate and invent new imaging technologies
(ii) Expand the portfolio of training courses for users and staff in charge of these approaches
(iii) Make them accessible to as many people as possible.
