The Centre for Integrative Biology of Toulouse
(CBI-Toulouse, France) is seeking
a Group Leader in Neuroscience and/or Animal Behaviour
The Centre for Integrative Biology of Toulouse launches its annual call for the recruitment of group leaders, with, this year, a special attention to neuroscience and animal behaviour.
The Centre for Integrative Biology of Toulouse (CBI) regroups five research departments in the Biological Sciences at the University of Toulouse and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). It is located in Toulouse, southwest France, on the main Campus of the Université Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier, which offers a multidisciplinary education in the fields of science, health, engineering, and technology, representing one of the most important scientific research clusters in France. Since 2020, CBI benefits from a new building on the campus, in line with its expansion policy.
The CBI currently includes over 400 scientists in 46 internationally recognized research groups, conducting research in fundamental aspects of the structure and function of complex biological systems. Research at CBI spans all scales from individual molecules to the whole organism and animal groups. It is multidisciplinary, covering a wide range of research fields from molecular genetics and epigenetics to cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, animal behaviour, as well as computational and systems biology, applied mathematics and theorical physics. The Research Centre on Animal Cognition (CRCA) is one of the three research Departments of the CBI, and an internationally renowned research centre covering a wide range of topics from neuroscience to animal behaviour.
In order to reinforce its research endeavors in an inspiring and collaborative environment, the CBI is currently seeking new talented group leaders in neuroscience and/or animal behaviour.
All basic research projects in the CRCA research fields, such as experience-dependent plasticity of neural circuits and/or behaviour, mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, mechanisms of individual or collective behaviour, behavioural ecology, are welcome.
