Scientific Animation Officer & Lab Manager (F/H)Institut du Cerveau

L’Institut du Cerveau est une Fondation privée reconnue d’utilité publique dont l’objet est la recherche fondamentale et clinique sur le système nerveux. Sur un même lieu, 950 chercheurs, ingénieurs et médecins couvrent l’ensemble des disciplines de la neurologie, dans le but d’accélérer les découvertes sur le fonctionnement du cerveau et les développements de traitements sur les maladies comme : Alzheimer, Parkinson, Sclérose en plaques, épilepsie, dépression, paraplégies, tétraplégies, etc.

Since 2010, the Brain Institute has been a center of excellence in scientific and medical research dedicated to the study of the brain and the discovery of new treatments for diseases of the nervous system. Its innovative model brings together patients, doctors, researchers, and entrepreneurs with a common goal: to transform fundamental discoveries into therapeutic solutions through a translational and interdisciplinary approach. Located in Paris at the heart of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital—Europe’s largest neurology center. The Paris Brain Institute is based on a partnership between a joint research unit and a private foundation recognized as a public benefit organization, the Paris Brain Institute Foundation, in collaboration with the AP-HP, and brings together more than 1,000 international experts across 29 research teams, 12 state-of-the-art technology platforms, a clinical research center, a training organization, and an innovation hub that includes, notably, a startup studio and a living lab.
