Offer Description
The ENS Institute of Biology (IBENS) is a centre for fundamental research that carries out original research aimed at unravelling the fundamental mechanisms at the heart of biological processes.
As a joint ENS-CNRS-INSERM unit, IBENS is home to over 300 staff organised into 30 autonomous teams conducting highly collaborative and multidisciplinary research that combines experimental and theoretical approaches.
Research activity covers a wide range of subject areas: neuroscience, developmental biology, functional genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology.
Several technological platforms, notably in imaging, genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics, are available to researchers. Research carried out at IBENS benefits from interactions with other disciplines at the ENS (physics, chemistry, cognitive sciences, mathematics). IBENS is actively involved in the training of students and early-career researchers at all levels.
The team's objective is to understand the computational processes of neural circuits and their link to behaviour.
The candidate will work closely with German SUMBRE and other members of the team.
The underlying mechanisms governing the emergence of neural assemblies in zebrafish.
Missions:
To design and organise the collection and processing of data from whole-brain calcium imaging of zebrafish larvae, using a two-photon sheet-light microscope. To analyse the data using mathematical methods to understand the functional interaction between assemblies.
Activities:
- Conduct calcium imaging experiments using a light-sheet microscope
- Process the data obtained using complex mathematical methods
- Develop appropriate mathematical models
- Disseminate and promote the results and technological achievements through publications and presentations at conferences.
