Dear colleagues,
could you post this job position, please? Thanks!
Post-doctorate position for studying central auditory system plasticity after hearing loss
A post-doctorate position is available immediately in the group of Pr. Arnaud Norena at Laboratory of Integrative and Adaptive Neuroscience, CNRS-Aix-Marseille University, Marseille, France.
https://lnsc.fr/equipe/dynamique-neuronale-et-audition/
Our group is studying the auditory perception, the neural correlates of auditory perception and the plasticity of auditory centers due to specific acoustic environment or cochlear hearing loss. We have also a strong interest in computational and theoretical neuroscience (neural coding and system dynamics).
Marseille is a vibrant city in an exceptional environment (Mediterranean weather, sea, hills all around the city…). The funding is for a minimum of 1 year and the salary will be competitive.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidates to be involved in a project aimed at investigating the cortical and sub-cortical plasticity triggered by cochlear hearing loss (and potentially associated to tinnitus – “the auditory phantom perception”) from multi-unit cortical recordings and local field potentials. The project is also aimed at understanding further the molecular mechanisms of plasticity, in particular the inhibitory neurotransmission and the putative role played by chloride homeostasis.
We are looking for a candidate with experience in:
· central electrophysiology with arrays of micro-electrodes
· and/or strong background in neurophysiology and audition
· and/or strong background in signal processing
· and/or excellent programming skills in Matlab
Please send CV and/or questions to arnaud.norena@xxxxxxxxxxx
