Description

Ph.
D. student positions
at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM) to study the principles of neuronal circuit organization and

brain dynamics.

If you are fueled by motivation, enthusiasm, and an insatiable curiosity, interested in

experimental or computational systems and circuits neuroscience, and seeking an environment

that nurtures your potential, encourages collaboration, and provides exceptional research

opportunities, we invite you to consider joining our lab.

Our team values diversity and welcomes researchers from all backgrounds and profiles.

If your project ideas align with our research focus, we encourage you to get in touch with us.

**Research Topics
We are interested in how neuronal circuits are organized and how the collective action of

neurons gives rise to the emergent complex brain dynamics and behavior.

We focus on how neurochemicals and bodily signals influence the brain.

We study how the simultaneous release of neuromodulators influences the activity of

neurons and the coordination of brain regions

We also study how bodily signals, such as breathing, serve as fundamental elements of

the oscillatory circuit architecture

We employ our approach to study the brain dynamics during behavior and sleep and

their involvement in the transformation of fleeting experiences into long-term

memories

To answer these fundamental questions about the nature and function of the brain, we combine

a range of cutting-edge neurotechnologies that enable us to observe and control the activity of

the brain. We aim to identify and explore the fundamental principles of neural circuit

Pure experimental, as well as computational/theoretical, or hybrid projects are available,

depending on your interest and skills.

Profile
We are particularly interested in students with background in neuroscience, physics,

mathematics, computer science, biology, or engineering.

The ability to approach research questions through a quantitative lens and experience in

programming are crucial for our team. While previous experience in neuroscience is not a

requirement, it is a strong plus.

underrepresented in the sciences.

**Opportunities
As a graduate student in our group, you will have the chance to contribute to exciting

discoveries, gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art techniques, and work alongside

experienced researchers.

Collaboration and mentorship are at the heart of our lab's culture.

We believe that working together leads to better science and enriching experience. As a

graduate student in our lab, you will have the invaluable opportunity to work closely with

postdoctoral researchers who will help your research and foster your intellectual growth. By

working together with your peers, you will have the chance to share ideas, problem-solve

together, and gain fresh perspectives. Together, we will create an environment where you can

thrive and achieve your full potential.

In addition, you will be enrolled in the Sorbonne graduate school and ICM student community,

through which you will have access to a host of training opportunities and career development

resources, as well as a range of social activities to ensure a well-rounded experience.

Why join our team

We are a young and vibrant group of scientists, fueled by curiosity and passion for

understanding the brain.

We work as a team and use or invent cuttingedge neurotechnologies to answer

fundamental questions in neuroscience.

Our team is committed to the training, mentorship, and career development of the next

generation of neuroscientists. To achieve that, we foster an inclusive and supportive
environment, where we can learn and advance science while having fun in the process.

Our work is multidisciplinary, and so is our team. Irrespective of your background and

project, our research environment will expose you to a diverse range of experimental
and computational aspects of systems and circuits neuroscience. We thus encourage

everyone to apply, especially those from underrepresented minorities.

Working in our team will provide you with invaluable experience across all stages of

research and you will have the opportunity to engage in experiment design and
execution, method development, software design, and data analysis, as well as

publishing and communicating research results.

Our team is affiliated with Inserm and is located in the Paris Brain Institute (ICM),

where we have access to state-of-the-art facilities and resources.

Our vibrant community at the ICM and throughout Paris promotes broad collaboration

and learning opportunities.
