Developmental/Sensory Neuroscience

I am looking for a talented and motivated Ph.D. with interests in
developmental or sensory neuroscience to join my laboratory. The goal
of our research is to understand the role of sensory experience in the
development of central nervous system circuitry. One project concerns
the role of activity-dependent processes in the construction of
receptive field properties and topography in the rodent retinotectal
projection. Another project concerns the role of afferent activity on
the development of sensory cortical circuitry (cross-modal plasticity).
Experience with mammalian surgery, visual or auditory stimulation, in
vivo or in vitro electrophysiology, and/or neuroanatomical techniques
is desirable. There are opportunities to work collaboratively at the
cellular/molecular level in addition to the systems-level approach used
by the P.I.

The successful candidate would be joining a highly interactive and
dynamic group of young neuroscientists at Georgia State University in
Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta, site of the 1996 Olympics, is a vibrant,
expanding city with numerous cultural and recreational opportunities.
The Georgia State/ Georgia Tech/ Emory/ Morehouse research community
offers unparalleled opportunities for neuroscience research.

Interested candidates should send their curriculum vita and names
of three references to S.L. Pallas, Department of Biology, Georgia
State University, P.O. Box 4010, Atlanta, GA 30302 USA (FAX
404-651-2509, e-mail spallas@gsu.edu). Salary is consistent with NIH
guidelines. Georgia State University is an Equal Opportunity/
Affirmative Action employer.
