Description du poste

Aims

The project, in collaboration with JR Cazalets from the Motopsyn team, aims to understand the relationship between the body and brain in drug addiction. Specifically, it will investigate the role of peripheral signals (such as temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration), produced by cocaine and nicotine, in influencing the propensity to relapse. The study will be conducted in rats and will involve intra-venous drug self-administration paradigms combined with telemetric recordings of peripheral physiological signals.

Salary

The salary will depend on the candidate's previous experience and academic level. It follows the university's salary grid, which can be provided to the candidate. National health insurance is included.

Requirements

• Validated training in animal experimentation and surgery
• Proficiency in statistical and behavioral analysis

Duration

1 year, with the possibility of renewal for an additional year.
