<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">We are recruiting a PhD candidate to join the
<i>Face Categorization Lab</i> in Nancy (France) at CNRS and Université de Lorraine. The successful candidate will be supervised by Bruno Rossion, in collaboration with Jacques Jonas.</span></p>

mechanisms of human recognition of faces, as investigated with </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">frequency-tagged electrophysiological activity (EEG and intracranial EEG). Neuropsychological and electrophysiological measurements
during intracerebral electrical stimulation of the human ventral occipito-temporal cortex can also be part of the PhD program (see examples of relevant publications below).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The successful PhD candidate will become a full member of the Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience group of the CNRS laboratory IMoPA
UMR7365, Université de Lorraine (Nancy, East of France). The research group is a small unit tightly linked to clinical research at the university hospital of Nancy (CHRU), including researchers in neuroscience, cognitive science, neuropsychologists and neurologists.
He/she will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities at Université de Lorraine, CNRS and CHRU-Nancy.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">The candidate should have a Master’s degree in neuroscience, cognitive science, biology, engineering, psychology or equivalent. Ideally,
he/she should also have a good level in French and a solid background in cognitive neuroscience. Knowledge of electrophysiology/neuropsychology, programming skills (e.g., R, Matlab or Python) and a good level of English are a plus. High motivation, curiosity,
creativity, perseverance and the ability to work in a team are also key personal skills.</span></p>
