Missions
Within the framework of a European (ERC) project, this position aims to study the encoding of sound sequences in the brain during a behavioral task involving temporal navigation. The study will utilize recordings with Neuropixel electrodes and potentially two-photon calcium imaging. A multidimensional analysis of the data obtained will identify the elements of neural activity involved in mental temporal navigation.
Activities
- Preparation of animals (rodents) for electrophysiology and eventually imaging
- Neuropixel recordings with up to 4 electrodes in parallel
- Analysis of data produced with Python or Matlab
- Presentation of results and writing of articles and research reports
Skills
- Expertise in multielectrode electrophysiology in rodents with a proven track record of previous achievements in this field.
- Obtained the Regulatory Certification for animal experimentation
- Python and/or Matlab programming for data analysis, a proven track record of previous achievements in this domain is needed
- Ability to work in a team on a multidisciplinary project
- Mastery of oral and written communication in English
Work Context
The recruited person will be under the hierchical responsability of Brice Bathellier and be part of the Dynamic and Neuronal Codes Team at the Pasteur Institute (Hearing Institute). Furthermore, this project is part of a multi-team European project and involves interaction with international partners.
