The qualifications required for this position correspond to those of an Assistant Engineer (AI) in Behavioral Neurobiology. The mission of the AI will be to contribute to a research project investigating the neuronal mechanisms underlying maladaptive cocaine-seeking behavior (funded by an ANR grant).<\/p>\n
The AI will join the Psychobiology of Vulnerability to Drug Addiction<\/em> laboratory at the Neurocentre Magendie, which focuses on the mechanisms involved in vulnerability to cocaine addiction (http:\/\/www.neurocentre-magendie.fr\/deroche<\/a>).<\/p>\n In close collaboration with a Research Engineer, the candidate will support behavioral testing in rats related to cocaine use, combined with real-time in vivo analysis of neuronal activity. The candidate will be involved in supporting and\/or conducting stereotaxic and vascular surgeries, as well as intravenous self-administration procedures coupled with fiber photometry.<\/p>\n Required degree:<\/strong> BUT, Professional Bachelor’s Degree, or Master’s Degree
\nDesired qualifications:<\/strong> Certification in animal experimentation. Training in small animal surgery and hands-on experience in behavioral neuroscience are strong assets.<\/p>\n
