Job Description
Missions
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study the neurocomputational mechanisms of information propagation in social networks. The Neuroeconomics group of Dr Jean-Claude Dreher combines multimodal neuroimaging with computational modeling to characterize the neural mechanisms underlying human social decision making. The focus of this project will be to unravel the neurocomputational mechanisms engaged when deciding to transmit information in social networks.

Your Work Environment
The Institute of Cognitive Sciences, located close to the neurological hospital, offers a unique opportunity within its neuroeconomics team. This laboratory, at the forefront of neuroscience research, has access to a high-tech brain imaging platform, enabling it to explore the brain mechanisms underlying human decisions.
The research team focuses on the neuroscience of decision making and motivation, with a particular emphasis on understanding the cognitive processes involved in individual and collective choices. More recently, the team is developing innovative studies on social decision making, a fascinating field that explores how individuals make decisions in interaction with others, influenced by social and emotional factors.
By joining this dynamic team, you will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research, while having access to world-class research tools, in a stimulating and collaborative environment.
We offer :
- 44 days vacation / RTT per year
- Excellent working conditions
- 24-month contract
- Partial reimbursement of travel expenses (75%) + sustainable mobility package of up to €300/year
- Financial contribution to health insurance costs
The lab is hosted at the Institute of Cognitive Science Marc Jeannerod in Lyon, France, a thriving university city. The institute hosts an interdisciplinary neuroscience community with access to several brain imaging facilities, such as one research-dedicated 3T scanner, MEG/EEG, TEP, TMS/tDCS and other useful resources.
