THE OFFER

We invite applications for a doctoral or a postdoctoral position jointly supervised by Dr. Arvind Kumar (KTH Stockholm, Sweden), and Dr. Philippe Isope (CNRS, University of Strasbourg, France).

The project: We are interested in understanding how the basal ganglia and the cerebellum interact during a sensori-motor task. To this end we use both experimental data (multiunit activity and behavior) and computational models. On one hand we will record multiunit neuronal activity in the cerebellum and basal ganglia while animals perform a motor task. On the other hand we will use computational models to understand how activity in one brain region affects the representation of task related activity in the other area.

What are we looking for:

What are we looking for:
- Master or Phd in neuroscience (or Physics/Maths/Engineering)
- Experience in computational modelling of biological neuronal networks and neural data analysis
- Willingness to learn to perform extracellular recording in awake behaving animals

The candidate will be hired at the University of Strasbourg, USIAS, France. The candidate will be based at the Isope Lab. But s/he will work in close contact with Dr. Kumar who will spend considerable time in Strasbourg in the next two years. Moreover, the candidate will have the opportunity to spend time in Kumar Lab in Stockholm, Sweden.
