Job Description
Missions
We are looking for a passionate postdoctoral researcher to carry out a project on the neural bases of movements in mice.
Activity
The main activities focus on piloting a research project aimed at studying the organization of motor pathways in the mouse brain, including:
- Experimental activities:Optogenetic manipulations in freely moving mice
- Data analysis:Kinematic analysis of movement via video tracking
- Mapping of neuronal connectivity
- Molecular profiling of gene expression
- Project management activities:Coordination of the project
- Presentation and dissemination of results in the form of seminars and articles
- Supervision:Supervision of interns (Master's, thesis)
Your Profil
Skills
Conceptual:
- Doctoral thesis focused on the nervous system.
- Knowledge of neuronal control of movements and brain-trunk organization in the mouse.
Experimental:
- Work on genetically modified mouse lines
- Use of viral vectors for studying neuronal connectivity
- Histology, fluorescence microscopy
- Bioinformatics tools, data processing, and ideal use of Matlab, R, or Python
- Teamwork, critical thinking, teamwork, and solidarity
- Fluency in French or English
Your Work Environment
The candidate will join the Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience, an international research environment bringing together developmental, cognitive, integrative, and computational neuroscience teams.
