Postdoc position in Social Rodent Neuroscience: brain dynamics of social interactions
Offer DescriptionBoth human and rodents live in complex environments that include the necessity to interact with other conspecifics. To better understand how the brain responds to this level of complexity, neuroscience is moving from analyzing brain and behavioral responses of single individuals to the simultaneous recording of brain, behavior and physiological responses in two or more individuals freely interacting. In this postdoctoral position, you will have the opportunity to pioneer behavioral paradigms while recording brain and physiological responses simultaneously from two or more individuals, and investigate how the (emotional) state of individuals influences those of others and determine adaptive social decisions. This effort will leverage the unique competence and technological might of the Dutch Brain Interface Initiative consortium (dbi2.nl).During your postdoc you will thus have the opportunity to:
Advance your analytical skills of functional connectivity and brain-2-brain and brain-2-behavior dynamics * Publish your findings in open access scientific journals.RequirementsResearch Field Neurosciences Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/Qualifications
