We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate to work on
a project on the mechanism underlying action selection in the face of
social threat, funded by the Medical Research Foundation (FRM)
The postdoctoral position is available at the Lab of Cognitive
Neuroscience in the Social Cognition group. The successful candidate
will work with Prof. Julie Grèzes, Ph.D. For information on the group
visit: http://www.iec-lnc.ens.fr/social-cognition-group/
The overall aim of the project is to investigate the relationship
between attention and action selection processes in response to social
threat, and the impact of anxiety on such link. In brief, anxiety is
both an adaptive response when manifest in moderation and an impairing
condition at exceeding levels. The standard view of anxiety emphasizes
that it leads to a hypervigilance to threat. The present project builds
on a novel finding obtained in our team demonstrating that non-clinical
anxiety does not merely lead to increased attention to threat, but
rather shifts the neural coding of threat to motor circuits (El Zein et
al. 2015 Elife). The project aims to investigate the behavioral
consequences of such threat-related motor coding and to address whether
the maladaptive inhibitory function of anxiety observed during attention
selection generalizes to action selection. A comprehensive view of the
impact of adaptive anxiety on attention and action selection processes
in response to threat will be obtained by combining behavioral with
physiological (movement kinematics, pupillometry) and neural measures
(EEG under fMRI, MEG).
What we expect from you
· A PhD degree or equivalent in a field related to cognitive
neuroscience (experimental psychology, cognitive science,
electrophysiology),
· Solid background on either social cognitive/emotion
neuroscience or attention/action neuroscience,
· Strong experience with experimental work and analyses of EEG
and/or MEG data,
· Expertise in Matlab and in statistics,
· Evidence of published peer-reviewed research,
· Excellent skills in written and spoken English,
· Strong motivation.

Post-Doctoral Positions Available
---------------------------------
We are a new lab, headed by Jerry Chen, opening our doors in 2016 in
the Department of Biology at Boston University
SUMMARY:
A longstanding goal in neuroscience is to achieve a complete
understanding of the central nervous system, from the brain as a
whole all the way down to individual neurons and synapses. A
fundamental challenge in achieving this goal is bridging knowledge
gaps impeded by the difficulty in integrating experimental
measurements across different scales. Our lab studies the
relationship between local circuits and long-range networks in the
mammalian neocortex. We take an integrative approach by combining
large-scale in vivo imaging technology with molecular and genetic
tools in the awake-behaving animal.
RESEARCH PROJECTS:
Principles of Long-Range Cortical Communication.
We are investigating how behavior-relevant information is processed
both locally and globally throughout the neocortex. Using the mouse
tactile whisker sensorimotor system as a model for studying
long-range cortical communication during sensory processing and
decision making, we seek to understand the following questions:
- What are the circuits underlying long-range cortical communication?
- What are the physiological mechanisms that subserve such operations?
- What roles do these processes serve during behavior?
Long-Range Cortical Circuits During Development.
We are investigating how genes and development define the
organization and function of long-range cortical circuits. Gaining
a handle on how these circuits form will help us understand the role
they serve during behavior.
Technologies for Large-Scale Imaging of Neuronal Populations.
We recently developed a multi-area two-photon microscope that
enables simultaneous functional imaging with cellular resolution
across cortical areas. We seek to expand on such methods to enable
comprehensive monitoring of neuronal activity across the entire cortex.
QUALIFICATIONS:
We are seeking highly creative individuals who are interested in
pursuing independent projects core to the lab's research interest.
A first author publication (submitted or published) is a
prerequisite for consideration. While experience with in vivo
imaging and rodent behavior and a quantitative background is
desired, we are also interested in individuals with a broad range of
expertise within and outside of neuroscience. You can even be a
mathematician, physicist, engineer, computer scientist, molecular
biologist, artist, or musician. Some examples of potential good
fits include:
- Neurophysiologists with previous experience working with non-human
primates interested in addressing similar questions in rodents.
- Developmental neurobiologists interested in studying how circuit
formation guides circuit function and behavior.
- Computational neuroscientists interested in testing theoretical
models using experimental data acquired in the lab.
- Molecular biologists interested in utilizing molecular and genetic
tools for addressing systems-level questions.
- Optical engineers interested in developing and applying novel
technologies for large-scale recording and stimulation of neuronal
populations.
