Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to join a collaborative project on early sensorimotor development in typical infants. The project aims to explore brain maps related to body representations (somatotopic maps) and assess the effect of early intervention on their plasticity and maturation. The post-doctoral research will focus on brain mapping in infants using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (3T multimodal MRI). The neuroimaging explorations will then be compared with the neurodevelopmental follow-up of infants. The project will contribute to a better understanding of the neural bases of sensorimotor development in normal conditions and may open perspectives for clinical applications and interventions in newborns at risk of sensorimotor disorders. The post-doc will benefit from an exceptional research environment for the study of human development, interacting with complementary teams with expertise in developmental neuroimaging (inDev team, NeuroDiderot Unit, NeuroSpin center) and developmental psychology (PACD team, INCC). Eligible qualifications include a PhD in neuroimaging with experience in conducting experiments in humans and a strong motivation for studying infants. Candidates are invited to email a letter of interest to Jessica Dubois, with a brief summary of PhD work with a list of publications, a CV detailing academic background, and contact information for 2-3 references. Applications should be received by July 2021.
