Job offer – Researcher – at French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute (IRBA), Essonne, France (closing date: April 4th)
The French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute (IRBA) offers from October 1st, 2016 a Researcher position in the field of Human Factors, within the department ACSO (Action & Cognition in Operational Situation). The successful applicant will lead research projects in the field of the multisensory perception of extra-personal space from a cognitive psychology and neurosciences perspective.
The projects aim at clarifying mechanisms underlying the interactions between the spatial information coming from vestibular and somatosensory systems with the spatial information coming from visual and auditory pathways. This work will contribute to develop knowledge relative to the spatial orientation in virtual and real dynamic environments.
The researcher will use specific experimental devices for the study of the vestibular and somatosensory perception (human centrifuge, rotating chair, Barany’s chair, etc. …). From the applied point of view, these researches have to participate in the preservation of the health, the safety and the performance of the military operators by producing recommendations of use of the operational devices.
