Research Engineer in Electrophysiological Data Analysis (M/F)
Position: Engineer position to analyze intra-EEG and multi-unit data in relation to navigation behavior and eye movement
Deadline: 15 February 2024
Employment Start Date: 1 March 2024
Contract Length: 6 months, extendable to 18 months
City: Paris
Country: France
Institution: Sorbonne University
Department: Neuroscience

Contract duration: 6 months, extendable to 18 months
Expected hiring date: between January 1st and April 1st 2024 at the latest
Desired experience: Bac + 5
Section CN : Brain, cognition, behavior
Activities: Analysis of electrophysiological and behavioral data collected during a virtual environment navigation task with eye movement tracking.
Required skills:
Strong programming skills (Matlab or Python). Desired experience in signal processing, statistical analysis and/or regression methods. Previous experience in electrophysiological signal analysis (e.g. EEG, LFP, unit activity) will be a plus. Knowledge of and interest in cognitive neuroscience, particularly in the fields of navigation, memory, learning, attention or visual perception.
Working environment:
The project will be carried out within the Cervelet, Navigation et Mémoire (CeZaMe) team, at the Laboratoire Neuroscience Paris Seine of the Institut de Biologie Paris Seine of Sorbonne Université – CNRS – Inserm, Paris. The project is conducted in collaboration with the ICM and the Pitié-Salpêtrière epilepsy department, where the data will be collected. The data to be analyzed by the candidate will be recorded from epileptic patients during a navigation task in a virtual environment involving learning and strategy changes. The CeZaMe team, first to highlight the role of the cerebellum and its processing of movement in spatial representation, is made up of a dozen women and men, engineers, researchers and teacher-researcher combining complementary expertise in functional imaging, electrophysiology and behavior in humans and mice, analysis of unitary neuronal coding and cell biology.
English level: B1 minimum
Constraints and risks: NA
