The Kumar Lab in the Department of Otolaryngology at Washington University in St. Louis is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for an NIH-funded program on the cortical mechanisms of hearing difficulty after noise-induced hearing loss. The project asks how cortical cellular and circuit processes adapt after hearing loss and how those adaptations contribute to impaired auditory perception, especially in noisy environments. The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary neuroscience se...

About this position

This PhD project investigates the mechanisms, dynamics, and impact of neuromodulation in the olfactory cortex, with a particular focus on cholinergic and GABAergic projections from the basal forebrain. The student will study how these neuromodulatory signals shape olfactory cortical processing during behavior.

The research will rely mainly on fiber photometry and optogenetic stimulation in mice performing olfactory behavioral tasks. The project is designed to connect circuit-level activity with behavior, using experimental approaches that probe the function of neuromodulatory pathways in real time.

The thesis is supervised by Y. Sych and D. Desaintjan, and the student will join a scientific environment that brings together expertise ranging from cellular and molecular neurobiology to network physiology and computational neuroscience.

The doctoral researcher will be based at the Institut des Neurosciences Cellulaires et Intégratives (INCI) within CNRS, and will work in the Réseaux à méso-échelle, neuromodulation et comportement team in close collaboration with the Physiologie des réseaux neuronaux team. The two teams share space on the same floor of the institute and form an active, collaborative setting with researchers, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and dedicated technical support.

The INCI provides an international and multidisciplinary research environment in Strasbourg, with strong interaction across its teams and a substantial community of statutory researchers and students.
