We are seeking a highly motivated candidate for an interdisciplinary PhD thesis between animal behavior and neuroscience to study the cortical dynamics underlying vocal production. This work will combine the analysis of the vocal repertoire of minipigs and in vivo wireless electrophysiological (electrocorticographic and intracortical) recordings from freely moving and behaving animals.

Candidates should hold a Master’s degree or equivalent in Engineering or Neuroscience with an excellent ability for interdisciplinary team work. He/she will possess good training in signal processing and programming skills in Matlab and C/C++, and ideally also in machine learning. Although not mandatory, basic knowledge in neuroscience and the neurophysiology of language and vocal production would be a plus. Good proficiency in English writing and speaking is required.

The position is now open until fulfilled for a duration of 3 years with a starting date no later than March 31, 2020.

Location: Grenoble, France.
