Please post the following notice regarding post-doctoral
positions for mechanisms underlying vision and memory in primates
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Applications are invited for persons interested in the
neurophysiological analysis of the inferior temporal cortex and
connected regions. The studies will be carried out in monkeys
performing visual memory tasks, utilising arrays of chronically
implanted, moveable microelectrodes. These techniques allow the
acquisition of spike activity from networks of simultaneously
recorded neurons, in which recordings from single cells can be
maintained over periods of several days.
The experiments will take place in a suite of
neurophysiology laboratories designed for research into the
visual system of primates. Data acquisition and analysis utilises
Sun workstations, PC's and Macintosh computers.
Interested applicants should have familiarity and/or
interests in single unit recording techniques in behaving
monkeys; techniques for monitoring eye position (scleral search
coil, infra red technology); psychophysics; programming;
electronics; computational neuroscience; neuropsychology of
learning + memory.
The postdoctoral position will begin in December, 1995 and
run for two years in the first instance. Salaries are based on
NIH guidelines. The University of Arizona is an EEO/AA/ADA
employer.
Applications (CV, statement of interests, referees etc) should be
addressed to
