Offer Description
The Grenoble Institute of Neurosciences (GIN, Inserm U1216, Université Grenoble Alpes) is a multidisciplinary research centre dedicated to understanding normal and pathological brain function and developing new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Website: https://neurosciences.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
You will be supervised by Julien BASTIN (Inserm Research Director), director of the GIN's 'Brain, Behaviour and Neuromodulation' team. This multidisciplinary team brings together researchers, clinicians, engineers, doctoral students and undergraduates around a common goal: to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms and brain networks involved in neurological and psychiatric disorders (epilepsy, Parkinson's disease and obsessive-compulsive disorders), and to optimise neuromodulation therapies such as deep brain stimulation.
The team combines intracranial recordings and EEG, brain imaging, brain stimulation, modelling and advanced signal analysis to link neural dynamics, cognition and clinical symptoms, working closely with the neurology and psychiatry departments at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA).
Your main task will be to design, develop and conduct analyses of neural population dynamics in a human intracerebral dataset, working closely with the clinical teams at CHUGA and the national and international partners involved in this project.
Activities:
- Develop and maintain an analysis pipeline for the detection and quantification of neural oscillations and action potentials measured by micro-macro hybrid electrodes (tetrodes & field potentials) in human data
- Perform the pre-processing, time-frequency analyses, statistical analyses and modelling necessary to link neural characteristics to decision-making processes (during a cost-benefit task involving monetary rewards and physical effort)
- Exploit and document in a reproducible manner the existing dataset acquired from implanted epileptics
- Promote the results in the form of manuscripts submitted to international journals and presentations at conferences
- Collaborate with clinicians, engineers and doctoral students involved in the projects and contribute, where appropriate, to the scientific co-supervision of young researchers and the preparation of experimental recordings
Restrictions or constraints related to the position:
The position is mainly based at the GIN in a clinical and university hospital research environment, in close collaboration with the Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA).
You will contribute to a project focusing on the burst dynamics of neural oscillations involved in human cognitive control. We are looking for highly motivated, independent and enthusiastic candidates with a background in cognitive neuroscience, neuroscience, psychology, neuroengineering or a related discipline.
A PhD in one of these fields and proven experience in programming for data analysis are required. Previous experience in neurophysiological data analysis (scalp EEG, intracranial recordings such as LFP or SEEG, or MEG) and/or neuroimaging, as well as an interest in motivation, decision-making and executive functions, would be particularly appreciated. Skills in computational modelling or machine learning applied to brain signals are an asset.
We are looking for a highly motivated, rigorous and curious researcher who is ready to invest themselves in a project at the interface between fundamental and clinical neuroscience. The ability to work independently while interacting effectively with clinicians, engineers and doctoral students in a multidisciplinary environment is expected. A taste for teamwork, scientific communication (oral and written, particularly in English) and a willingness to develop and share reusable methodological tools are essential.
Education, qualifications, desired experience :
PhD in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, neuroengineering or a related discipline, with proven experience in neurophysiological data analysis and signal analysis programming.
Very good command of scientific English (spoken and written); knowledge of French is a plus but not essential. Experience: 0 to 5 years of post-doctoral experience.
