Research assistant position in the Subjectivity, Brain and Viscera group

We are opening a two-year research assistant position in the Subjectivity, Brain and Viscera group led by Catherine Tallon-Baudry.

Your main tasks are to recruit participants and run experiments probing the link between cognition and interoception, contribute to process data (electroencephalogram, respiration, electrocardiogram, electrogastrogram, ...), document experimental procedures and data analysis pipeline. You will also participate in scientific discussions at the weekly group meeting, bi-monthly lab meeting and monthly department colloquium.

You will work at Ecole Normale Supérieure, in the heart of Paris’ Quartier Latin, but will also interact with the company MyBrainTech. The position is an excellent opportunity to be trained in human experimental neuroscience and discover both academic and non-academic environments.

The ideal candidate holds a master degree in cognitive neuroscience or related disciplines, speaks both French and English fluently enough to communicate effectively, is rigorous and well organized. Some prior experience with human electrophysiology, and/or some prior experience with programming, would be a bonus.

The starting date is September 01, 2022 (preferred) or October 01, 2022. Salary according to French standards (master degree, no professional experience: 2210 Euros, i.e. about 1700 Euros once health insurance, pension scheme and income taxes are paid). 

Applications (CV and motivation letter) should be sent to recrutRA.2022@gmail.com.
