DETAILS OF THE OFFER | The “Social Cognition & Connectomics” team of Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to test the hypothesis that brain rewiring controls learning and motor behaviors in adult animals using novel optogenetic tools. The overall objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that individual learning performance requires selective circuit rewiring using RAIL. The candidate will first optimize and characterize different RAIL systems derived from the existing prototype. He/she will test their ability to rewire reconstructed neural circuits in vitro using brain-on-chip devices4,5. The best combination will then be tested in vivo in live adult mice. Ultimately, the candidate will test whether RAIL-induced remodeling of motor circuits accelerates motor skill learning in mice. Applicants should provide a CV, a cover letter and contact information of 2 references to maxime.cazorla@inserm.fr
