Missions

The candidate will be in charge of designing and conducting a research project on the neural bases of cognition and social memory in non-human primates.

Activities

Participate in the design of behavioral tasks and animal training.
Acquire intracerebral electrophysiological signals by telemetry using multicontact intracerebral electrodes.
Develop and apply methods for processing behavioral and electrophysiological data.
Write scientific articles and take part in conferences to present scientific work.

Skills

The candidate must have :
- theoretical and practical knowledge of neuroscience
- ability to work as part of a team on complex, multidisciplinary projects
- skills in the acquisition and processing of high-density neural signals
- skills in applied mathematics, signal processing, statistics, modeling and neural networks

Work Context

The Institut des Neurosciences de la Timone (INT) studies the mechanisms of cognition and their biological basis. The INT also strives to promote interactions between fundamental and clinical approaches, with the aim of advancing our understanding of neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders.
Located in Marseille next to the La Timone Hospital, the INT is a multidisciplinary environment. Our research teams address a multitude of themes including perception, decision-making, socialization, cognitive evolution and development.
Research work will be carried out on the INT's premises by a team of specialists in primate brain and behavior.
