Job description
POSTDOCTORAL
POSITION IN FRANCE:
NEUROPHYSIOLOGY

A
2-years postdoctoral position funded by CNRS (2,000-2,200 euros/mo) is
available in a basic science research group at the CESG Institute in Dijon, France.
Research at the CESG focuses on the mechanisms of sensory systems, from
perception to cognition and behavior with emphasis on chemical senses. The
research topic of the lab involves investigating the plasticity of olfactory
sensory neurons activity in transgenic mice using patch-clamp recordings and
calcium imaging (see Nature Neuroscience vol10, p348 and PNAS vol103(6) p1970).

Applicants
should have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Pharmacology or a related field with some
experience in electrophysiology and/or imaging. English proficiency is required
since it is the working language of the lab. Some knowledge of French may be
useful to completely enjoy life in Dijon. Dijon is a lively city with a medieval city
center, 1.5hrs southeast of Paris, in the great
region of Bourgogne wines.

Applicants
should send a cover letter explaining research interests and motivations, a CV
with a list of publications, and the name and contact information of at least
two references to the Group Leader: Xavier Grosmaitre
(xavier.grosmaitre@ cesg.cnrs. fr).

For
more information about the position, email Xavier Grosmaitre.
An
ideal starting date is September 2009. Applications will be reviewed
immediately and accepted until vacancy is filled.
