The Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biology (CIRB), located at the Collège de France in the heart of Paris, conducts cutting-edge fundamental research spanning neuroscience, biology, development, evolution, and disease processes. As part of PSL University — ranked among the top research universities worldwide — CIRB offers an exceptional scientific environment with strong interdisciplinary collaboration and access to state-of-the-art experimental platforms.

The research team focuses on uncovering the neural basis of memory formation and consolidation using rodent models. The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing projects investigating large-scale brain dynamics during learning and sleep, integrating advanced experimental and computational approaches. The role combines hands-on electrophysiological recordings with high-level data analysis and scientific writing.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and conducting massively parallel electrophysiological recordings (>200 channels) in freely moving rodents
• Implementing automated behavioral environments and experimental paradigms
• Performing quantitative analysis of neural data using computational and statistical techniques (e.g., Matlab)
• Preparing scientific reports, figures, and presentations for internal and external dissemination
• Conducting literature reviews and contributing to collaborative research discussions

Required qualifications:

• PhD in neuroscience, biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biophysics, or a closely related field
• Proven experience with hippocampal electrophysiology, rodent behavioral experiments, or neural data analysis
• Strong programming and quantitative analysis skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an international research setting
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

Additional valued experience includes familiarity with phase analysis, point-process statistics, and the construction of recording devices or behavioral apparatuses.

This position provides an outstanding opportunity to pursue high-impact research in systems neuroscience within a multidisciplinary environment at one of Europe’s most renowned scientific institutions.
