An attractive starting package will enable the candidate to set up such as ambitious research project.
The Junior Professor will be part of the neuroscience teaching team and will participate in the teaching of the Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences and the Master’s degree in Neuroscience (64 h teaching per year in French and English). He/she should have teaching experience and a broad and solid knowledge of molecular and cellular neuroscience.
