**Two Postdoctoral Research Positions in Human Behavior, Physiology and 
Neuroimaging**

Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics, Brain Mind Institute, Swiss Federal 
Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland*

Two postdoctoral positions are immediately available to investigate the 
interactions between stress, physiological and neurophysiological 
responses, and aggressive behaviors in humans.

*Postdoc 1: A study on Human Social Behaviors involving Virtual Reality 
and Physiological Monitoring*

We are searching for an excellent candidate with a Ph.D. in 
neuroscience, psychology or other related fields, with a strong track 
record on the use of virtual reality and behavioral analyses in humans 
(e.g., fear conditioning; computer-based tasks). Experience in the field 
of stress-induction or drug administration procedures in humans and/or 
imaging approaches would be an advantage, but is not required.

*Postdoc 2: A study on Human Social Behaviors involving EEG and 
Physiological Monitoring*

We are searching for an excellent candidate with a Ph.D. in 
neuroscience, physics, psychology or other related fields, with a strong 
track record on the use of EEG in humans. Experience in neuro-feedback, 
fMRI or pharmacological approaches would be an advantage, but is not 
required.

************

A strong interest in interdisciplinary work and, particularly, in 
linking stress neurobiology with social behaviors –particularly 
aggression and social dominance- in humans would also be an additional 
asset. English is required and a good knowledge of French would be an 
advantage.

Both projects involve the study of different aspects of human social 
behaviors and physiological responses linked to aggression. They include 
a core collaboration between Prof. Carmen Sandi, Laboratory of 
Behavioral Genetics and Prof. Michael Herzog, EPFL, Lausanne.

The research will be conducted at the Laboratory of Behavioral Genetics 
(http://lgc.epfl.ch/) at the Brain Mind Institute, EPFL, Lausanne 
(http://bmi.epfl.ch/), a center dedicated to exploring the emergence of 
higher brain function across multiple levels ranging from gene 
expression to cognition and emotional processing.

The positions are immediately available, though starting time can be 
negotiated (initial contract for 1 year, extendable for 2-3 additional 
years).

Applications will be started to be reviewed from August 15^th 2015 until 
the position gets filled.

Interested candidates should _send by email a SINGLE pdf document 
including_: CV, a research statement -indicating scientific interests 
and relevant experience- and the names and contact details of 3 
reference persons to: Prof. Carmen Sandi (carmen.sandi at epfl.ch 
<mailto:carmen.sandi at epfl.ch>).
