Type of contract CDD
Location Paris, France
Statut Available
Key Words neural activity, high density recording, neuroscience
Details of the offer
Working place: Institut de la Vision / Vision Institute
Missions:
Understanding visual processing and the link between vision and action
The postdoctoral researcher will use ultra-high-channel-count electrode arrays to record neural activity from cortical and subcortical brain regions of macaque monkeys during behavior. We will develop a flexible high-channel-count electrode array in collaboration with a partner lab to measure neuronal responses to visual stimuli, and relate the activity to attention and working memory, throughout the brain. We also aim to test the effects of electrical brain stimulation and examine how their effects spread through the networks of the brain, offering new insights into the neural mechanisms of visuomotor and conscious perception (e.g. van Vugt et al., Science, 2018). This project is linked to the labs of Pieter Roelfsema at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam and Serge Picaud at the Institut de la Vision in Paris. This is a fully funded position with possibility to acquire additional personal grants.
Qualifications:
Analysis of large data sets
Strong coding skills
The candidate should be proficient in written and oral English and have experience with writing scientific texts
Personal skills will be emphasized. The candidate should be able to work independently and interactively in a team setting, be motivated and responsible, and have a great work capacity and enthusiasm for research.
