Missions

Analysing a large volume of physiological data (recordings of cardiac and electrodermal activity) from the multi-partner ANR 'AGING' project.

Activities

- organising data processing and carrying out analyses of ECG and electrodermal activity signals - contributing to the drafting of summaries of the analyses carried out and their results for distribution to all members of the “AGING” consortium

Skills

- Knowledge of the signals inherent in ECG and electrodermal activity
- Knowledge of methods and tools for processing and analysing physiological data (ECG and electrodermal activity)
- Mastery of complex database management systems and how to use them (e.g. large Excel files)
- Knowledge of the literature on biological markers of stress would be a plus
- Ability to organise and use a dataset
- Ability to write scientific reports or summary documents
- Ability to present the results of analyses to different audiences.

Work Context

The 'Laboratoire de Psychologie Sociale et Cognitive' (LAPSCO-UMR UCA-CNRS 6024; https://www.lapsco.fr), located on the Carnot site of the University of Clermont Auvergne (Clermont-Fd city centre). The UMR currently employs 43 permanent staff and a total of 102 people, including contract staff, doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows. Its aim is to study the behaviour and cognitive processes involved in the major mental functions (perception, attention, memory, language, temporality), from their cerebral bases to their social and cultural determinants, with major stakes in the fields of education, health and industry. At the interface of experimental psychology (social, cognitive and developmental) and integrative neuroscience, this scientific orientation has led to the laboratory being structured into four teams: 1- 'Cognition-Behaviour-Context'; 2- 'Social Behaviour and Collective Dynamics'; 3- 'Physiological and Psychosocial Stress'; 4- 'Social and Cognitive Ethology' and several cross-disciplinary areas, including the most recent, 'Humanoid Social Robotics and Cognition', all serving a highly integrated vision of cognition and human behaviour. The two people recruited will carry out their work as part of the ANR 'AGING' contract. In this capacity, they will work with the members of the project consortium, with the UMR's technical and transfer unit, and under the responsibility of the UMR's director.
