Summary of Role
The successful candidate will work on the ERANET-NEURON funded project AUTONOMIC, coordinated by Pr S. RHEIMS, which investigates in Dravet syndrome the interplay between the genetically-based neurodevelopmental disorder and effects of recurrent seizures on alteration of vegetative functions and risk of sudden death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) (https://www.neuron-eranet.eu/projects/AUTONOMIC/).
Using a mouse model of Dravet syndrome, the AUTONOMIC project relies on the combination of in vivo EEG-EKG-respiratory recordings with functional imaging, immunohistochemical and transcripts analyses targeting the serotonin pathway. The project will include a specific focus on sleep regulation, with the objective to investigate the relation between epilepsy-related autonomic dysfunctions and alterations of arousal regulation in the pathophysiology of SUDEP.
The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in all stages of designing, conducting and analyzing in vivo EEG experiments. She/he will work in closed collaboration with another post-doc fellow, already active in the project, with high expertise in respiratory recordings.
The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to prepare the results for high-quality academic publications, to present at national and international academic conferences, and to engage in public activities. Furthermore that Research Fellow will take part in the supervision of students.
Person Specification
The successful candidate(s) must have a Ph.D. in human electrophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, biomedical engineering or an associated area.
Candidates must be experienced in in vivo EEG data acquisition
Experience in sleep physiology and/or epilepsy is desirable
High-level analytical capability Ability to communicate complex information clearly
Ability to assess resource requirements and use resources effectively
Understanding of and ability to contribute to broader management/administration processes
Contribute to the planning and organising of the research program and/or specific research project
Co-ordinate own work with others to avoid conflict or duplication of effort
