PostDoc position: Functional connectivity of language networks - Université Grenoble Alpes, France

Closing Date

6 Sep 2019

Address

Laboratoire de Psychologie et Neurocognition Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble France (https://lpnc.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/)

Duration

1 year (possible extension)

Project (short presentation): Language neurocognition is undergoing a change of perspective and within the connectomic perspective linguistic processes are now based on integrative models that consider sets of brain regions that are inter-connected and organized into cortical and subcortical networks. Our objective is to assess integrative language networks and sub-networks based on a large set of functional neuroimaging (fMRI) data obtained with specific language production and comprehension tasks. Functional connectivity analyses will be the core of thispostdoctoral work in this project.

Candidate: Should hold a PhD in cognitive neuroscience/cognitive sciences/cognitive psychology in the field of language neurocognition. He/she should demonstrate relevant experience with programming (MATLAB, R, Python...) and with the existing tools for neuroimaging and functional connectivity analyses.

Starting date: January/February 2020

Duration: 1 year (possible extension)

Interested candidates are required to send their applications including CV with publication list, a summary of their research interests together with names and contact information of at least two references by email to monica.baciu@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr
