Dear all, I'd like to announce the following postdoctoral position on the role of oscillations in brain communication and motor behavior: This position is available for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in Lyon, France, at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL) and at the Institute for Cognitives Sciences Marc Jeannerod (ISCMJ) under the direction of Mathilde Bonnefond, Ph.D and James Bonaiuto, PhD. The position is funded for 7 months and 2 years by two grants from the European Research Council (n°716862 and n°864550 respectively). The project is aimed at determining the role 1) of brain oscillations at different frequencies in brain communication and 2) of beta bursts in motor behavior. The candidate will use cutting edge techniques in both high precision magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, 3.0 T Siemens scanner) with healthy human volunteers. The post-doctoral fellow will: • develop and optimize the analysis of laminar level source signals as well as cortico-cortical functional connectivity applied to oscillatory activities. • analyze data from an fMRI experiment aiming at optimizing the analysis of MEG data for each participant. • analyze the relationship between three-dimensional movement kinematics and beta burst activity • synthesize results, write reports and scientific articles. The postdoctoral fellow will work together with a research assistant whose involvement in MEG/fMRI recording will be limited. Enthusiastic and self-motivated candidates are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will benefit from structured mentoring support and opportunities for travel and presentation at national meetings. The CRNL and ISCMJ are multidisciplinary research institutes offering a vibrant working atmosphere in an international environment with multiple opportunities for seminars, workshops and methodological clubs. *Expected starting date*: Mid-February 2018 the earliest, but applications will be considered until the position is filled. *Job Requirements: * * [Mandatory] Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience, Engineering or related field * [Mandatory] Autonomy in programming in MATLAB or Python * [Mandatory] Experience in using imaging analysis software (MNE, SPM, Fieldtrip, FSL, BrainVisa ...) * Knowledge of brain oscillations and signal processing * Experience with computer vision and analysis of movement kinematics is a plus * Fluency and solid writing skills in English are expected. French is absolutely not a requirement. *How to Apply: * Please send your application to BraindynMobeta@gmail.com with the following information: -CV including a brief (1/2 page) summary of previous research -Short letter of motivation describing research interests -Name of two colleagues who could provide a recommendation Please indicate "Post-doc application Braindyn Mobeta" as the subject of your email.
