PhD Position in Marseille

KEY WORDS

electrophysiology, behavior, neurosciences

CITY

Marseille

COUNTRY

France

DETAILS OF THE OFFER

Working place: the team "Cortico-Basal Ganglia Circuits andBehavior" at INMED

The aim of the project is to study the role of the striatum in the exploration/exploitation dilemma.

The project takes advantage of a locomotion-based naturalistic foraging task in freely moving rats combined with manipulations of striatal sub-circuits during behavior (chemo/optogenetics) and in vivo electrophysiology. It is part of an ANR-funded collaboration with David Thura and Bastien Berret to study how effort and time influence decision-making and movements across species. We're looking for candidates with a strong interest in animal behavior (rodents) and/or quantitative/theoretical approaches.
