After beginning his career as a CNRS researcher in Experimental Psychology in Paris in 1988, Jonathan Grainger founded and directed the Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive (LPC – CNRS & Aix-Marseille University) from 2000 to 2012. During this period, the LPC joined two other CNRS labs to create the Pôle 3C (now the Fédération 3C). He obtained two ERC advanced grants to pursue his work on orthographic processing at the level of single word reading, and more recently when reading multiple words and sentences. He features in the latest podcasts of the Entretiens ILCB / Fed3C.
