Missions

This position is offered as part of the ROSE project. The aim of the project is to develop a proof of concept combining miniaturized odor sensors and neural stimulators, which will be evaluated in patients with smell disorders. The project is coordinated by the CNRS (Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, CRNL) and combines the efforts of six other international partners: Politecnico di Milano (Italy), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Switzerland), the University of Thessaloniki (Greece), the University of Dresden (Germany), Aryballe (France, Grenoble), and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA, France, Grenoble). The post-doc's tasks will be to coordinate the research carried out at the CRNL, from planning/conducting experiments to organizing and processing data and promoting its valorization.
