[Eeglablist] Call for applications to apply for a postdoctoral internship in Environmental Neuroscience, Laboratory of Functional Neuroscience and Pathologies, Amiens, France

[harold.mouras at u-picardie.fr]

The Functional Neuroscience and Pathology Laboratory (UR-UPJV 4559, Amiens, France) is looking for a motivated candidate to respond to a call for postdoctoral funding (AAP MOPGA, Campus France, deadline 4 December).

For several years, various research projects have explored the interactions between emotions and motor skills by recording postural correlates during the processing of emotional stimuli. We recently decided to apply this methodology to the perception of visual pollution (Beaumont et al., 2020; Akounach et al., 2022). Our results show the relevance of posturography for studying motor reactions linked to the perception of pollution, and the central role of emotions and the subject's immersion in the appreciation of landscapes and pollution. A major limitation of this work is the lack of information on the neural processes involved in these motor changes. In this work, we wanted to use functional neuroimaging methods such as EEG and/or NIRS to jointly collect postural and neural responses during the perception of environmental scenes and the associated disturbances caused by visual pollution.

Applicants must :

• be of foreign nationality

• have obtained a doctorate (neuroscience, psychology, etc.) within the last 5 years (thesis defended between December 2019 and December 2024)

• not have been resident in France for more than 90 days between 5 September 2024 and 5 December 2024

• having the following interests/skills: affective neuroscience, EEG analyses, appetence for motor responses recording techniques.

• send the following documents to [harold.mouras at u-picardie.fr] before 30/11/2024 (submission of the successful candidate's file on 04/12/2024):

– CV including list of publications in English (4 pages maximum)

– thesis diploma

– letters of recommendation (maximum 3)

– subsequently, if successful, proof of identity
