The Institute of Neuroscience of La Timone (INT) at Aix-Marseille 
University (http://www.int.univ-amu.fr/?lang=en ) is currently seeking a 
postdoctoral Research Assistant in macaque fMRI and multi-electrode 
recordings of auditory cortex. The position is available starting early 
2017 for 3 years. Salary is dependent on previous work experience and 
academic qualifications. The successful candidate will have a PhD in 
neuroscience or related field and strong prior experience with macaque 
fMRI and/or electrophysiology.

The project funded by French Agence Nationale de la Recherche aims at 
investigating the «voice patches» of auditory cortex in awake macaques 
during controlled auditory stimulation. The voice patches will first be 
localized via fMRI then multi-electrode recordings will be performed in 
several patches in parallel to investigate their functional properties 
and connectivity in the neural coding of speaker identity information. 
The RA will be in charge of conducting the fMRI and 
electro-physiological recordings, of performing the corresponding 
analyses and contributing to writing up the results under the 
supervision of Drs Pascal Belin (http://www.int.univ-amu.fr/-Banco-) and 
Thomas Brochier 
(http://www.int.univ-amu.fr/spip.php?page=equipe&equipe=CoMCo&lang=en ).

INT is a young research laboratory launched in 2012 by French Centre 
National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and Aix-Marseille Université, 
the world’s largest francophone university. It is located on the Medical 
School campus next to the University Hospital and hosts 10 research 
teams (i.e. about 120 researchers, engineers and students) investigating 
different fields of integrative neurosciences from spinal and cortical 
motor control to low- and mid-level perception and regulatory systems of 
cognition. INT features excellent expertise in non-human primate 
neuroscience research and privileged access to a research-dedicated 3T 
PRISMA scanner. Marseille, France’s second largest city, offers a 
thriving international environment on the Mediterranean with excellent 
quality of life.

Applications (CV, letter of motivation and two recommendations) should 
be sent to pascal.belin@xxxxxxxxxxx and thomas.brochier@xxxxxxxxxxx 
until January 31, 2017.
