 *Call for application for a postdoctoral position*




 “Combination of EEG and posturography in motivation and emotion”



  The Functional and Pathological Neurosciences laboratory in Amiens (
http://www.u-picardie.fr/labo/lnfp) is looking for a highly motivated
individual for a postdoctoral position. Our group is part of the main lab
located between Lille and Amiens (http://lnfp.dr18.cnrs.fr). In Amiens, the
group is located between the neurology unit at the Amiens Universitary
Hospital (www.chu-amiens.fr<file:///Users/hmouras/Google%20Drive/Recherche/Financements/2013/AXA%20PostDoc/AnnoncePostDocAnglais.odt/www.chu-amiens.fr>)
and the Health Research Pole of the University of Amiens
(www.u-picardie.fr<file:///Users/hmouras/Google%20Drive/Recherche/Financements/2013/AXA%20PostDoc/AnnoncePostDocAnglais.odt/www.u-picardie.fr>).
The lab associates several medical specialities (neurology, psychiatry...)
which allows interactions between clinicians and researchers into an
enthusiastic and multidisciplinary way. At the moment, our group focus on
the theoretical and experimental study of psychological and neural
processes involved in attention, emotion, motivation and executive
functions. In particular, we focus on early troubles that may occur in
neurological diseases for the processing of such informations. Experimental
methods used in the lab are neuropsychological investigations, peripheral
physiological measures recordings (BIOPAC system) and functional
neuroimaging (fMRI 3T; high density EEG 128 channels; MR compatible EEG).
Recently, we began to explore the motor correlates of motivation and
emotion in different affiliations functional contexts such as sexual
motivation and empathy for pain.

We are seeking a talented and enthusiastic research assistant with a PhD
awarded in psychology, neuroscience, biology or computer science. The aim
of this project will be to use in combination experimental psychology,
peripheral physiological indexes (posturography, electromyography) and EEG
to identify the link between the neural and motor correlates in different
functional affiliation contexts such as sexual motivation and empathy for
pain. Candidates should be highly motivated, manifest a strong interest for
cognitive, affective, social neurosciences and neurology.

Required skills:

   -

   Computing skills in Matlab; Neuroimaging Data analysis softwares (SPM;
   Cartool; EEGLab; BrainVisionAnalyzer);
   -

   Previous experience with event-related potentials, frequency analyses,
   source localization analyses;
   -

   Previous experience and/or interest for the development of a dyadic EEG
   experimental setting in the lab.

 Amiens is the main city of the Picardy region, around 150 km at the North
of Paris (1h by direct train). Amiens is a very nice place to live, with
its big cathedral, beautiful “hortillonages” (little rivers directly into
the city) and the sea at 40 km from the city. For more information on the
city and regions, please go to www.amiens.fr.

After having passed a first selection step, our lab aimed now to select a
candidate to apply for the 2013 round of the AXA Research Fund Postdoctoral
grants.

Applications, including CV, list of publications, letters of
recommendations and statement of interests should be sent by email to
