Two postdoctoral positions in Cognitive Neuroscience in the "Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitives", Marseille, FR
The "Laboratoire de Neuroscience Cognitives" (Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS) is opening two post-doctoral positions (EEG/MEG and TMS) to work on an ERC project aiming at deciphering pro-active and reactive cognitive control, within the team "Attention, Chronometry and Cortical Dynamics". Each position is offered for 12 months (first instance, potentially renewable). Applicants for the EEG/MEG position must have a PhD on Cognitive Neuroscience/Experimental Psychology (or related disciplines) and have a good knoedge on EEG and/or MEG processing. Knowledge on spatial analysis (Current Source Density for EEG, inverse solution for EEG and MEG) is certainly a plus. Although not required, programming skills in high level scientific languages (Python, Matlab etc...) will be (highly) appreciated. The hosting group is equipped with several EEG systems (64 and 128 electrodes) and has access to a 248 magnetometers MEG system (4D Neuroimaging magnes 3600), coupled with an EEG system. When applying please indicate [post-doc EEG/MEG] in the subject of your mail.
Applicants for the TMS position must have a PhD on Cognitive Neuroscience/Experimental Psychology (or related disciplines) and have experience with single pulse (and potentially paired-pulse) TMS. Knowledge of a neuronavigation system is a plus. Although not required, programming skills in high level scientific languages (Python, Matlab etc...) will be (highly) appreciated. The hosting group is equipped with several TMS apparatus, and with a robotized device allowing to precisely track the participants head movements to ensure optimal positioning of the coil. When applying please indicate [post-doc TMS] in the subject of your mail.
Salary will be adjusted based on experience, and will follow CNRS regulation (between 2000 and 2900€ net).
The "Laboratoire de Neurosciences Cognitives" is embedded in a very active and large Brain Research community (the second largest in France), ranging from cellular physiology to social neurosciences. The hosting group has strong connections with the local Brain research community, and numerous international collaborations, that will benefit to the retained candidates.
French speaking is not a requirement.
Position starts as soon as possible, and will be opened until it is filled.
Besides, Marseille is a very nice city in south of France, on the Mediterranean Sea, with a warm climate. It is also at about 1h30 from the Alps mountains, allowing easy access to hiking and winter sports.
CV and motivation letters, along with informal enquiries, are to be sent to Boris BURLE (email: boris.burle@univ-amu.fr), with the appropriate subject heading (see above).
