PhD Genetic and environmental variation of memory
CNRS Gif Sur Yvette, France
A 3 year PhD position is available in the Laboratory of Evolution,
Genomes, and Speciation (LEGS, CNRS) in Gif sur Yvette (France) to work
on the evolutionary biology of memory. The starting date of the
position is programmed for September 1st 2008.
In Drosophila, 4 different memory phases have been described
(short-term, middle-term, anesthesia-resistant and long-term). Using
selection experiments, population comparisons and conditioning assays,
we are addressing issues such as: Genetic and environmental variations
of learning and memory among drosophila species and populations, fitness
benefits and costs of the different memory phases, effect of
ecologically-relevant stress on the memory phases.
The successful candidate should be highly motivated and will develop
his/her own project in this area. Candidates should have a master degree
in Evolutionary Biology, Animal Behavior or Neuroscience. Some
experience with Drosophila behavior, genetics or molecular methods would
be helpful but are not required. The application is open to all
nationalities and is funded by the European Research Council (the salary
is around 1700 Euro/Month taxes included). No pre-existing knowledge of
French is required to work in the lab, although some knowledge makes
living in France easier. Gif sur Yvette is located 40 min from downtown
Paris.
To apply, send your CV, a letter describing your research interests and
some ideas for a project to Frederic.mery@legs.cnrs-gif.fr. Arrange for
one or two letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address.
The review of applications will begin on June 15, 2008.
