We are seeking a passionate and dedicated research technician to join our team Neuronal Circuits &
Brain Dynamics at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM). Our work focuses on unraveling the fascinating

- mysteries of how the brain generates internal states and how neuromodulators, such as dopamine
- and serotonin, influence neuronal activity during behavior. To achieve our goals, we employ state-of
the-art techniques, including behavioral, optogenetic, imaging, electrophysiological, and genetic
- approaches in mice

Profile:

We are searching for a science enthusiast who recognizes the importance of the foundational work

- that keeps a lab thriving.

Responsibility, attention to detail, and high motivation.
Exceptional organizational and communication skills are a must.
As a valuable team member, you will tackle labrelated issues independently, fostering a friendly

and dedicated work environment.- Your record-keeping and computer skills will be essential, as will your fluency in English. Fluency in

French is a plus.- While prior experience in specific neuroscience techniques (such as stereotaxic surgeries, behavior,

and histology) is advantageous, it is not mandatory, as training will be biological sciences (or equivalent).- Applicants with an M.Sc.

or Ph.
D. are encouraged to apply.

ethic and reliability, will be crucial.- Experience in neuroscience techniques such as stereotaxic surgeries, behavioral experimentation,

and histological processing is highly desired
