About this position

PhD opportunity in France at Université Marie et Louis Pasteur (Besançon) in collaboration with the SINERGIES Laboratory.

This doctoral project focuses on preventing sarcopenia in older adults through resistance exercise, with an emphasis on neuromuscular adaptations, cognitive adaptations, dual-task exercise, and exergaming. The research aims to improve physical performance and reduce fall risk in ageing populations.

Methods and tools include electromyography (EMG), functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), force/power assessment, cognitive testing, and body composition analysis. This makes the position especially relevant for candidates interested in exercise physiology, neuroscience, motor control, and ageing research.

Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in STAPS/Sport Sciences, Neuroscience, Neurophysiology, Physiology, or Motor Control; experience with physiological data analysis is an advantage; and skills in Matlab, Python, or statistical software are appreciated.

Funding and duration: fully funded doctoral contract for 36 months.

Location: Besançon, France.

Deadline: 25 August 2026. Start date: 1 October 2026.

How to apply: prepare a detailed CV, motivation letter, Master’s transcripts, and a recommendation letter, then submit before the deadline.
