Job description

Offer DescriptionApplications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study the neurocomputational mechanisms of information propagation in social networks. The Neuroeconomics group of Dr Jean-Claude Dreher combines multimodal neuroimaging with computational modeling to characterize the neural mechanisms underlying human social decision making. The focus of this project will be to unravel the neurocomputational mechanisms engaged when deciding to transmit information in social networks. Candidates must have (or nearing completion of) a PhD degree in neuroscience, social psychology, behavioral economics, computational neuroscience or a related discipline. Candidates must have previous practical experience and working knowledge of human neuroimaging (eg. model-based fMRI). The candidate must also have working knowledge of experimental statistics, signal processing and excellent programming skills (eg Python, R, …). Previous experience with model-based fMRI experiments, advanced multivariate data analysis and computational modelling is desirable. Candidates should speak and write English proficiently. The lab is hosted at the Institute of Cognitive Science Marc Jeannerod in Lyon, France, a thriving university city. The institute hosts an interdisciplinary neuroscience community with access to several brain imaging facilities, such as one research-dedicated 3T scanner, MEG/EEG, TEP, TMS/tDCS and other useful resources ( ). This job is available in starting December 2024 for 2-3 years. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications according to CNRS scales.– program experiments
