POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
Carnegie Mellon University: Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition
MECHANISMS OF SPATIAL COGNITION IN PRIMATE CORTEX
A position is available for a postdoctoral researcher to record from
single neurons in behaving rhesus macaque monkeys in the laboratory of
Dr. Carl Olson. The focus of the project will be on frontal, parietal and
temporal mechanisms of object-centered spatial vision. The initial
appointment will be for one year with renewal possible.
The CNBC Primate Physiology Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility
housed in the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition and operating under
the joint auspices of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of
Pittsburgh. In addition to Dr. Olson, two other faculty members in the
Center, Drs. Carol Colby and Tai Sing Lee, do single-neuron recording in the
cortex of behaving monkeys. The surrounding neuroscience community,
spanning the adjacent campuses of the two universities, is vibrant and
varied, with strengths in functional imaging, neuropsychology,
computational neuroscience, neurophsyiology, neuroanatomy and
molecular neurobiology. Information on the Center is available at a web
site: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/Web/Groups/CNBC.
Applications for the position should include a curriculum vitae and
the names of three references, together with telephone numbers. For
