Missions

How do the brains of social beings make sense of their societies? As part of the European ERC project NEURO-SOCIETY, the Neurophysiology of Social Cognition Lab is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher. The postdoctoral researcher (renewable term) will develop new approaches to study how different sensory modalities (vision, audition, olfaction) give rise to the same social concepts, combining neuroimaging and neurophysiology. These approaches will constitute a first step toward understanding the neuronal mechanisms underlying the creation of social concepts in primates.

At the Paris Brain Institute, the Neurophysiology of Social Cognition Lab, led by Julia Sliwa, investigates the brain mechanisms that transform social perceptions into social knowledge, using a combination of ethological tests in primates, neuroimaging (fMRI), neurophysiology, and large-scale data analyses: www.sliwalab.org

Contexte de travail

The French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) is the largest scientific research organization in France and home to the largest number of scientists in Europe (more than 25,000 researchers, engineers, technicians, and administrative staff in over a thousand research units). The CNRS is a major player in the development of European research and contributes to its development, thus playing an important role in the advancement of scientific knowledge at European and global levels. It enjoys a prestigious track record, having signed more than 1,250 contracts with the European Commission and maintaining an established relationship of trust in the administration of Commission grants.

The Paris Brain Institute (ICM) is a research unit affiliated with INSERM, the CNRS, Sorbonne University, and a private foundation recognized as being of public utility, whose purpose is fundamental and clinical research on the nervous system. On a single site, 850 researchers, engineers and doctors cover all disciplines of neuroscience, with the aim of accelerating discoveries on the functioning of the brain and the development of treatments for neurological diseases such as: Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, epilepsy, depression, paraplegia, quadriplegia, etc.

Contraintes et risques

- Some duties (animal care, veterinary treatments, imaging or behavioral protocols) may require weekend work.
- Travel within France (e.g., Station de Primatologie in Rousset, Centre de Primatologie in Strasbourg) may be required for sample collection or behavioral testing.
- The position is available starting November 2025, with an initial appointment of 1 year. Extension beyond this period is possible.
- The start date is flexible, and applications will be considered until the position is filled.
- The position is fully funded by a European ERC grant (NEURO-SOCIETY, PI: Sliwa). However, candidates are encouraged to apply for competitive personal fellowships (HFSP, FRM, Marie Sklodowska-Curie, etc.) if they wish so.
