Two PhD student positions in circuit and behavioural neuroscience – Marseille, France

• RESEARCH FIELD(S)1

Biology

• JOB DESCRIPTION 

We are looking for two motivated, inquisitive, and adventurous PhD students to join our recently established laboratory at the Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology (INMED) in Marseille, France.

The focus of the lab is exploring the interactions between internal models and sensory information. Specifically, we study how long-range connections steer activity in the visual cortices using electrophysiology (Galloni et al. 2020), viral tracing, optogenetics (Galloni et al. 2021), in vivo recordings and behaviour.

The positions are fully funded for 3 years by an A*Midex grant.

Neuroscience research in Marseille is broad, diverse, and therefore very fertile. INMED offers state-of-the-art research platforms and a collaborative scientific environment. The city of Marseille is a unique gem in the heart of the Mediterranean, culturally diverse and surrounded by magnificent nature.
