ILCB Postdoc Positions Language, Communication and the Brain

The ILCB offers up to two postdoc position in 2024 on any topic that falls within the area of language, communication and the brain. The ILCB assembles several top research laboratories in linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, medicine/neurology, computer science, and mathematics that are located in Aix-en-Provence, Avignon and Marseille (https://www.ilcb.fr/about/partner-laboratories/).

Candidates can propose their own project or respond to a pre-proposal made by ILCB members. In both cases, it is strongly recommended that the candidate contacts one or more potential collaborators amongst the members of the ILCB to contextualize the project as a collaboration within the ILCB (for an updated list of potential collaborators, see https://www.ilcb.fr/pre-proposals/ or check the ILCB member directory for a list of all members https://www.ilcb.fr/members/directory/). Interdisciplinary projects involving several ILCB members are preferred.

Note that ILCB postdocs benefit from an excellent research environment that includes free access to neuroimaging and experimental platforms (MRI, MEG, EEG, eye tracking, speech lab, baby lab, virtual reality, primatology….), research support from a team of engineers (https://www.ilcb.fr/about/crex/), scientific activities (annual retreats, seminars, workshops), and funding opportunities for experiments, publications, and conferences.
