<p>We are currently inviting applications for a full-time postdoc position <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">under the joint co-mentoring of Dr. Demian Battaglia and <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Dr.
Romain Goutagny (</span></span>University of Strasbourg, France; <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">Functional
System's Dynamics team – FunSy, <a href="https://funsyteam.org/" class="OWAAutoLink">https://funsyteam.org</a>)</span></span>. The position starts as soon as possible and can last up to two years. This job offer is funded by <span style="font-size: 12pt;">the
French ANR "HippoComp" project, which focuses on the complexity of hippocampal oscillations and the hypothesis that such complexity can serve as computational resource. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In our joint FunSy team, we perform </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">electrophysiological recordings in hippocampus and cortex</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> during spatial navigation and memory tasks in mice (wild
type and mutant developing various neuropathologies) and have </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">access to vast data</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> through local and international cooperation. Furthermore, we use a
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">large spectrum of computational tools</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> ranging from time-series and network analyses, information theory and machine-learning to multi-scale computational modeling. A good idea about
some of the approaches used in the lab can be found in this recent preprint: </span><em style="font-size: 12pt;">Douchamps et al. 2022. Hippocampal gamma oscillations form complex ensembles modulated by behavior and learning</em><span style="font-size: 12pt;">,

<p>We are seeking for various profiles of candidates, with main expertise in either computational or experimental neuroscience. Computational project components would deal with numerically-intensive data analyses (dimensional reduction, encoding/decoding, design
of discriminative features...). <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, Helvetica, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">
Experimental project components would focus primarily on simultaneous fiber photometry and local-fields potentials recordings, together with the pre-processing of these data. </span>Interested candidates could have hybrid experimental/computational projects. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The
ideal candidate will have a doctorate in systems or computational neuroscience, with previous experience in the analysis of rich datasets. In addition, we expect programming skills (e.g., Python, C/C++, Matlab), good communication skills in English (oral and
written), the ability to work well in an international team, curiosity and open-mindedness.</span></p>

<p>Strasbourg University is home of an emergent and active community in neuroscience, from molecules and cells to whole brain imaging and behavior, in relation with clinics. The proximity with Germany and Switzerland is an asset allowing interactions with transnational
Computational and Neuroscience teams. Strasbourg, home of important European institutions, is a small fascinating city with a rich student and cultural life, well connected via high-speed train to important European cities (e.g. less than two hours from Paris).</p>

</p>
<p>DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: January 15th 2023</p>
<p>Please send your application, including CV, motivation letter and representative publications (preprints accepted) electronically, to both PIs (Romain Goutagny and Demian Battaglia). In addition, contacts of at least two academic references must be communicated
(contact email or recommendation letter attachments). Pre-selected candidates will be interviewed over Zoom or invited to give a talk if possible. We are committed to equal opportunity hiring. We strongly encourage applications from qualified women or candidates
from any country.</p>
