Offer Description
You will join the GIN: https://neurosciences.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
You will be supervised by Julien BASTIN (Inserm Research Director), head of the GIN's 'Brain, Behaviour and Neuromodulation' team. This multidisciplinary team brings together researchers, clinicians, engineers, PhD 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 disorder), 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 in close collaboration with the neurology and psychiatry departments at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA).
Activities:
Develop and maintain an analysis pipeline for the detection and quantification of neural oscillations and action potentials measured by hybrid micro-macro electrodes (tetrodes and field potentials) in human data
Carry out the pre-processing, time-frequency analyses, statistical analyses and modelling required 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 epilepsy patients
Disseminate results in the form of manuscripts submitted to international journals and conference presentations
Collaborate with clinicians, engineers and PhD students involved in the project and contribute, where appropriate, to the scientific co-supervision of early-career researchers and the preparation of experimental recordings
Specific features related to the position:
The post is primarily based at GIN within a clinical and university hospital research environment, working closely with Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA).
The role involves a significant amount of computer-based work.
Participation in certain patient recording sessions may be required, subject to clinical constraints.
Occasional short-term travel may be required for project meetings or to attend national and international conferences.
You will contribute to a project focusing on the burst dynamics of neural oscillations involved in human cognitive control. We are seeking 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, will be particularly valued. Skills in computational modelling or machine learning applied to brain signals would be an advantage.
We are seeking a highly motivated, rigorous and inquisitive researcher, ready to commit to a project at the interface between basic and clinical neuroscience. The ability to work independently whilst interacting effectively with clinicians, engineers and PhD students in a multidisciplinary environment is expected. A passion for teamwork, scientific communication (both oral and written, particularly in English) and a willingness to develop and share reusable methodological tools are essential.
Education, qualifications and desired experience :
PhD in neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, neuroengineering or a related discipline, with proven experience in neurophysiological data analysis and programming for signal analysis.
Excellent command of scientific English (spoken and written); knowledge of French is an advantage but not essential.
Experience :
0 to 5 years' post-doctoral experience.
