Job Description
Thesis Subject
The recruited person will join the project "Multiple temporal scales of noradrenaline release and their implications for memory acquisition and consolidation" directed by Yaroslav Sych. They will be responsible for experiments on rodents (stereotaxic intracerebral injection; brain sampling; brain sectioning and extracellular electrophysiological recording of brain activity; behavioral tests; data collection, analysis and formatting). The aim of the project is to understand how neuromodulators such as noradrenaline alter our brain dynamics, behavior, and sleep. Dr. Yaroslav Sych's lab is using opto- and electro-physiology methods to link behavior and brain function, as well as to answer how cortical activity is shaped by norepinephrine and its consequences of behavioral change.
Your Work Environment
The candidate will work at the Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience (INCI-UPR3212, Strasbourg, France) within Team 4 under the supervision of Dr. Yaroslav Sych and will join Doctoral School (ED414) at the Strasbourg University. INCI comprises 9 teams with a total of approximately 120 staff members, including 48 permanent researchers. Our institute has a friendly atmosphere, on-campus cantinas and easy access by public transport. Research themes cover various aspects of neuroscience, such as the study of subcellular mechanisms enabling communication between nerve cells, the functioning of neural networks, and the role of these networks in behavioral responses and neuropsychiatric disorders. Team 4 focuses on neuromodulators, particularly how norepinephrine alters brain dynamics, behavior, and sleep.
Constraints and risks
Potential chemical risk due to particles manipulating DNA. Allergies related to working with rodents. The project may also require a weekend work.
