*Postdoctoral position at Aix-Marseille University (France) in
functional MR Neuroimaging*
A postdoctoral position for *18 months *is available in the research
team Body and Cognition at the Laboratory of Integrative and Associative
Neuroscience (LNIA, UMR7260 CNRS-AMU) in Marseilles, France.
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in
advanced analysis of _functional MR data_ such as connectivity analysis.
The successful candidate will be involved in the /Multisense/ project,
which aims to understand how the brain integrates multisensory signals
to build a unified perception of self-body movements. Neuroimaging
experiments will be conducted in young and old healthy subjects to study
the impact of age on multisensory processing.
LNIA collaborates with the fMRI Marseille center equipped with a 3T MR
scanner, which is dedicated to research only.
The primary duties/responsibilities of the position involve direct
engagement in all aspects of research, including: protocol development
and management, implementation of experiments, participant recruitment,
behavioral testing, and MRI data acquisition, processing, analysis, and
dissemination.

*Requirements:*
Candidates will have a Ph.D. or similar degree in neuroscience,
biophysics, psychology, cognitive science, or a related discipline.
Experience with brain imaging methods (*functional MRI and resting state
functional MRI)* is required. Therefore, proficiency with neuroimaging
analysis software (e.g. SPM, FSL, BrainVoyager, etc.) and MATLAB are
expected.
Skills in structural brain analysis (voxel-based morphometry, DTI) will
be relevant, but not indispensable.
Applicants should also have exemplary communications skills, *

*To apply:*
Interested candidates should send their detailed CV, a cover letter
describing training and research experience, and three letters of
referees (including current mentor). Send correspondence via email to
