Offer Description
Applications are welcome for two positions (post-doc and PhD) funded by an ERC Starting Grant (European Research Council; PI: Mathieu Servant; https://sites.google.com/view/mathieu-servant/accueil ). The 5-year project ITDA aims at elaborating an integrated theory of decision and motor processes in humans, and using the theory to provide new mechanistic explanations of impulsive behavior in a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. The ideal candidates are highly motivated and creative individuals, capable of working independently and in groups.
The research will take place at the Laboratory for Integrative Research in Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology (INSERM, UMR 1322) and the MSHE Ledoux (CNRS, USR 3124), embedded in a rich scientific environment with active national and international collaborations. Both laboratories are located in Besançon (France), a beautiful city on the border of Switzerland surrounded by remarkable, nature-filled outdoors.
ERC Starting Grants are designed to support outstanding researchers of any nationality who are starting to develop an independent career and intend to establish their own research team or program in the EU or an Associated Country (https://erc.europa.eu/funding/starting-grants ).
PhD grant (3 years). The successful applicant will be responsible for developing theoretical hypotheses pertaining to decision-making and motor control, and then conducting experimental tests, ultimately leading to the write-up of scientific work. Part of the research project will consist in evaluating the effect of Parkinson's disease on decision-making and motor control, and will be conducted in tandem with Matthieu Béreau (Professor of neurology, University Hospital of Besançon).
