A postdoctoral position is now available in a neurophysiology
laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University. The position is for
someone interested in the neurophysiological foundations of visual
perception. The approach used in our laboratory is single-cell
physiology in behaving monkey combined with psychophysics and
computational modeling. Current projects include mechanisms of
object-related feature representation that we have discovered
recently, and the basis of 3-dimensional form perception in vision
and touch (program project). Excellent training will be offered,
but preference will be given to candidates with experience in
single-cell recording, psychophysics, or modeling. Students of
physics and engineering are encouraged to apply. The salary will
depend on experience.
The laboratory is in the Mind/Brain Institute, located on the
beautiful Homewood Campus of the Johns Hopkins University. The
growing Mind/Brain Institute is a leader in systems neurophysiology
with an exceptional concentration of research in perceptual
systems. The Institute now includes 5 behaving monkey laboratories
specialized on vision and touch, and laboratories for neuroanatomy,
study of plasticity in brain slices, and computational
neuroscience. A new MRI research facility is available in the
Medical School. The Mind/Brain Institute attracts students of the
graduate programs of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering at
Johns Hopkins which are among the best in the nation.
The Johns Hopkins University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action Employer.
