Postdoctoral position available
“Basal ganglia neurological diseases and impulsivity troubles”
The Functional and Pathological Neurosciences laboratory in Amiens
(http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lnfp) is looking for a highly motivated
individual for a postdoctoral position. Our group is part of the main
lab located between Lille and Amiens (http://lnfp.dr18.cnrs.fr). In
Amiens, the group is located between the neurology unit at the Amiens
Universitary Hospital (www.chu-amiens.fr) and the Health Research Pole
of the University of Amiens (www.u-picardie.fr). The lab associates
several medical specialities (neurology, psychiatry...) which allows
interactions between clinicians and researchers into an enthusiastic
and multidisciplinary way. At the moment, our group focus on the
theoretical and experimental study of psychological and neural
processes involed in attention, emotion, motivation and executive
functions. In particular, we focus on early troubles that may occur in
neurological diseases for the processing of such informations.
Experimental methods used in the lab are neuropsychological
investigations, peripheral physiological measures recordings (BIOPAC
system) and functional neuroimaging (fMRI 3T; high density EEG 128
channels).
We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic research assistant with a
PhD awarded in psychology, neuroscience, biology or computer science.
The aim of this project will be to use experimental psychology,
peripheral physiological indexes and neuroimaging techniques (fMRI;
EEG and simultaneous recordings) to developp a multimodal exploration
of impulsivity troubles in basal ganglia neurological diseases (PD;
HD). Candidates should be highly motivated, manifest a strong interest
for cognitive, affective, social neurosciences and neurology.
Required skills:
* Computing skills in Matlab; Neuroimaging Data analysis softwares
(SPM; Cartool; EEGLab; BrainVisionAnalyzer);
* Simulatenous EEG/fMRI recording;
* Application of functional neuroimaging settings to neurological patients.
Amiens is the main city of the Picardie region, around 150 km at the
North of Paris (1h by direct train). Amiens is a very nice place to
live, with its big cathedral, beautiful “hortillonages” (little rivers
directly into the city) and the sea at 40 km from the city. For more
information on the city and regions, please go to www.amiens.fr.
The project is generously funded by a postdoctoral stipend from the
Regional Council of Picardie (www.cr-picardie.fr) for a first year and
possibly renewable for a second year. Salary amount is 1818.60
euros/month.
Applications, including CV, list of publications, letters of
recommendations and statement of interests should be sent by email to
Harold Mouras ([log in to unmask]). The search begins today
and closes when the position is filled.
