Permanent position in computational modeling of neurostimulation in mental disorders

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The research of the INRIA-team MIMESIS in Strasbourg / France (https://mimesis.inria.fr) 
aims to create a synergy between clinicians and scientists to develop new healthcare 
technologies. The team researchers collaborate closely with clinicians and choose their 
research focus along the clinical applications. 
Major scientific objectives are the development of advanced online- and offline simulations 
involving new numerical techniques for real-time computation and data-driven simulation 
dedicated to patient-specific modelling.

One application branch is embedded in neuroscience with a specific focus on general 
anaesthesia and neurostimulation of patients suffering from mental disorders. For instance, 
members of MIMESIS work in the recently funded project A/D Drugs 
(https://www.inria.fr/en/ad-drugs-exploratory-action-aimed-optimising-neurostimulation) 
to develop novel neurostimulation techniques in psychosis that may emerge in schizophrenia 
patients.

The team offers the possibility to apply for a permanent position as Chargé de Recherche 
(CR) or Directeur de Recherche (DR) in the research field of computational neuroscience 
with a strong focus on linking brain network modelling with experimental data. The new 
colleague should have a strong expertise in neurostimulation and/or modelling of experimental 
data observed in mental disorders. Strong programming and mathematical skills are mandatory.      

INRIA is a French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology 
(https://www.inria.fr/en) with 8 research centres in France. The team MIMESIS is located 
in the centre of Strasbourg on the hospital campus as part of the Research Centre Nancy 
Grand Est. The application deadline will be mid of February 2021, but it is recommended 
to contact the team (by email: axel.hutt at inria.fr) in advance.
