Your Work Environment

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. The UMR currently employs a total of 102 people, including permanent and contract staff, PhD students, post-docs and ATERs. Its aim is to study the 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 and cognitive neurosciences, this focus corresponds within the laboratory to four teams: 1- 'Cognition-Behaviour-Context'; 2- 'Social Behaviour and Collective Dynamics'; 3- 'Physiological Stress and Psychosocial'; 4- 'Social and Cognitive Ethology' and several cross-disciplinary teams, including the most recent 'Humanoid Social Robotics and Cognition', all working towards a highly integrated vision of cognition and human behaviour. The person recruited will carry out his/her mission as part of the ANR 'STECCIE' contract. He or she will work with the members of the team set up for the project, under the responsibility of the LAPSCO director and the co-direction of Marie Demolliens (IGR LAPSCO), and will be provided with a workstation and all the laboratory's infrastructure.
