In2PrimateBrains proposes a highly competitive training-through-research programme dedicated to the study of neuronal intra and inter-areal communication in non-human primate (NHP) brains.
Our Training Network consists of fifteen individual scientific projects, with extensive collaborations between consortium institutions. We are currently recruting PhD candidates for each project.
Use the links below to find out more information:
ESR 2: Dynamic neuronal interactions along visuomotor pathways
ESR 3: Cortical interactions for processing motion information in marmosets
ESR 4: Multi-scale neural networks dynamic and cognitive brain-computer interfaces
ESR 5: Large-scale brain networks through primate evolution
ESR 7: Probing the link between perceptual visibility and brain oscillations
ESR 9: Local circuits and long-range neuronal interactions that mediate cognitive functions
ESR 10: Role of the frontal cortex in high level cognitive and social functions for mentalizing
ESR 12: Feedforward and feedback circuit mechanisms in the visual system
ESR 14: Comprehensive management of complex data from NHP brain network studies
Skills, Qualifications: Studies in neuroscience or equivalent (biology, physics, engineering, informatics…).
Required Research Experiences: Neurosciences, 1 – 4 years of research experience.
Required Education Level: Master Degree or equivalent.
Required Language: English.
Benefits:
-
- In-depth interactions within a rich network of top-level European laboratories, with industrial and clinical institutions;
- Mentorship with official reporting, support and guidance, coaching in personal and professional development;
- Synergies between participating organisations, interactions between ESRs during thematic workshops and skill training meetings;
- Secondments related to the scientific comparing communication across different cortical networks and related to sharing of techniques.
Eligibility criteria:
-
- At the recruitment date (between August and October 2021), be in the first four years of your research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree;
- Not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting Institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment date (between August and October 2021);
- University curricula;
- Skills and academic background matching with the research project, and academic records (including transcripts) at master level or equivalent degree level;
- Creative and innovation potential, ability to think out of the box;
- Motivation of the candidate for research with interdisciplinary/inter-sectoral dimension;
- Professional project after graduation;
- Knowledge and enthusiasm for the programme.
